Two women injured in head-on collision
Two women in their 50s were injured in a head-on collision on the outskirts of Naxxar yesterday afternoon.
The accident occurred in Triq is-Salina, close to It-Telgħa t'Alla u Ommu, at about 2 p.m.
The police said a 59-year-old woman from Sliema was driving a Toyota Aygo from Salina towards Naxxar and a 51-year-old woman from Qormi was in a Mazda 323 heading in the opposite direction. The women suffered grievous injuries which, however, are not life-threatening.
Members of the Civil Protection Department were at the scene of the accident and both drivers were taken to hospital. The busy road was closed to traffic for a while.

How very touchy!!!
My comment is not sexist or pompous for that matter. It is purely about road safety and road sense - points which you have missed entirely.
How many drivers, both male and female, do you see illegally on mobile phones without any care and consideration endangering themselves and others? I stood outside my appartment yesterday in Xemxija and in 10 minutes I counted scores, both male and female - lorry drivers, bus drivers, taxi drivers, red van drivers as well as private motor cars. It really is a miracle that there are no more accidents. A head-on collision means that something went drastically wrong - such as lack of concentration or maybe a mechincal fault but the former is more likely.

It's true that there are some stupid people who uses the mobile, drink or eat while driving. BUT there are more stupid people who doesn't know that the car has indicators, horns, safety belts which most of the men doesn't use. SAFETY ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING PLEASE.
