The national security minister, one of the most influential hard-liners in Israel, has previously been criticised after being pictured in his car without a seat belt.
Mr Ben-Gvir was also in an accident last summer, when his driver allegedly ran a red light because the minister was late for a TV interview. The results of the investigation have not yet been made public.
Traffic accidents are frequent in Israel on Friday afternoons as many motorists, religious or not, rush home for sabbath dinner as businesses and shops shut down across the country.
The country has a significantly better accident record than any of its neighbours in the Middle East and North Africa, but it lags far behind Europe in terms of crashes, injuries and fatalities.
