The 27-year-old motorist was transferred from the scene to Hadassah Medical Center, where he later died of his injuries.
The Jerusalem Post has reported that the victim was a U.S.-Israeli dual-national.
Violence has erupted in the West Bank in recent days after two Israelis were killed by a Palestinian gunman, prompting Israeli settlers to rampage through a Palestinian area in revenge.
