A tragic road accident occurred on the E40 highway in Furnes, Belgium, on Wednesday night, resulting in the heartbreaking death of 12-year-old Daniel Rubin z”l from London, just two weeks before his Bar Mitzvah.

Daniel was ejected from the SUV after it flipped over while traveling with his family from Antwerp back to London after visiting Belgium for a relative’s Simcha.

Emergency services arrived to the scene but sadly they were unable to save Daniel’s life. Five others sustained minor injuries.

The exact cause of the accident remains under investigation, and authorities are awaiting the results of a traffic expert’s examination. Difficult weather conditions may have contributed to the incident, though this has not been confirmed.

The Rubin family had just visited Israel last week to donate supplies to IDF soldiers.
