The Palestinians car slid due to the wet road, before it struck the army jeep, they added.
Khaldoun ad-Deek, the head of Kafr Ni’ma Village Council, said the accident happened in an area of a difficult terrain with rough and curvy roads.
The three Palestinians worked as night guards at Nour al-Hoda Schools in Betunia town, west of Ramallah.

The soldiers placed the village under a strict siege, after closing all entrances and main roads.
On Sunday at night, the soldiers invaded the village before storming and searching homes, and abducted a young man, identified as Yousef Mahmoud ad-Deek.
Many Palestinians suffered the effects of teargas inhalation, after the soldiers fired gas bombs and rubber-coated steel bullets at Palestinians protesting the invasion.
The soldiers also attacked, on Monday morning, several schoolchildren, and hurled gas bombs and concussion grenades at them, in addition to preventing them from reaching their schools.

Following an investigation by the Israeli military into the killing of a Palestinian motorcycle rider on February 5th, and the severe wounding of his passenger, the military was forced to admit that their initial claim that the young man had explosives was a false claim.
Abdullah Faisal Omar Tawalba, 19, was shot and killed by Israeli forces on February 5th, 2019, at an Israeli military checkpoint in Jenin, in the northern part of the West Bank.
His passenger, Omar Ahmad Hanana, 15, was also shot by the Israeli military and badly injured, but is in stable condition at the Jenin Governmental Hospital run by the Palestinian Authority.
Initially, the Israeli military reported to the media that the young men had approached the checkpoint and “tried to plant explosives”.
An investigation by Israeli military police found no evidence whatsoever of any explosives of any kind.
The soldiers claimed that they “heard an explosion,” and “where sure “an explosive was thrown at the roadblock, before they opened fire.”
The checkpoint where Abdullah was killed by the soldiers is located near the entrance of the al-Jalama village, northeast of Jenin in northern West Bank.
The army’s initial statement claimed that Palestinians were riding a motor cycle and “hurled an explosive at the soldiers”. There were no injuries of any soldiers.
Mahmoud Sa’adi, the director of the Emergency Department of the Palestinian Red Crescent in Jenin, said the slain Palestinian has been identified as Abdullah Faisal Omar Tawalba, 19, from the al-Jalama village, and added that Omar Ahmad Hanana, 15, was injured but is in a stable condition.
Palestinian medical sources said the medics moved the slain Palestinian, and the wounded teen, to Jenin Governmental Hospital.
They added that Tawalba was shot with several live rounds in the head and legs.
