A 32-year-old van driver from Naxxar was critically injured this afternoon when his Seat Terra was involved in collision with two cars in Hompesch Road, Zabbar.

The incident happened at around 5.30 p.m. near the traffic lights. The van crashed into the centre strip and then the two cars, a Peugeot 405 and a Fiat Punto.

The man was trapped in the wreckage of his van and required assistance by the personnel from the Civil Protection Department before he was rushed to Mater Dei Hospital.

No one else was injured.

The incident was the second major one in Zabbar today. In the morning, a 20-year-old man from Senglea had a lucky escape when the Honda Civic he was driving to Marsascala crashed into a wall and then uprooted an electricity pole which crashed on top of the vehicle. He was not injured.
