One Israeli told Ynet: "The people with her ran to get help. People gathered (at the scene) and many Israelis also came in a cab and dressed her wound until the ambulance came, but by then her condition had worsened, most likely from all the blood she lost."
This is not the first tragedy to occur among Israelis backpacking in India. In September last year Yossi Shafir, 24, was killed in a motorcycle accident. Shafir who was travelling with two friends, had a head-on collision with a car and was killed.
