The person killed in the tourist bus accident that happened today (Thursday) in South Korea is Rita Schwartzberg, deputy director of the civil department at the Hadera Magistrate's Court, a 60-year-old resident of the city. She worked at the court for about twenty years.
Her acquaintances there were stunned that a beloved work colleague had been taken from them.
About a year ago she married her husband, and for this trip she went alone with the organized group.
"It's unbelievable," said one of Rita's co-workers, "she told us she was going on this trip during the Passover vacation and we were all happy for her, we wished her a good time. This is a beloved and smart company. We would call her our beautiful. We will miss her very much."

Her children said that Schwartzberg was loved by everyone - both in her work and in her personal life.
"She was always positive and full of joy in life despite the tragedy that befell us - the untimely death of our father about ten months ago after a long battle with cancer," they said.
"In his memory, she went on a trip that was a dream of both of them for years - and it ended in tragedy. The only consolation is that her daughter Daniel was also supposed to join this trip but she canceled in the end and thus her life was saved."
Danielle, her daughter, said she was speechless at the disaster.
"It never occurred to me that something like this could happen," she said.
"I was supposed to travel with her and sit next to her. There are many issues we didn't have time to discuss and now unfortunately we won't be able to."
