"He was both beautiful, also smart, there are no such things," he said.
Oliver's father, Vincent, his mother Lee and his older sister Abigail are still hospitalized at Rambam Hospital. The parents' condition is moderate, while four-year-old Abigail is still in intensive care. Kaplan, Oliver's grandfather, recounted the moments before the accident. "I was with them. At home and I was getting ready to go in the direction of Tel Aviv and they organized to go out in the direction of Yokneam HaMoshava, for dinner.
A total of a few miles away.
I said goodbye to them.
I photographed him and his sister as I always do.
Shortly afterwards, I set off. "
He stressed that "the father, who was driving the car, does not remember anything and it is important for me to emphasize that he has no guilt in this accident. As we understand the circumstances the father or any other driver who came in his place had no ability to prevent it and had no even minor chance to avoid from her".
