An elderly couple died on Saturday evening following a traffic accident in St Paul’s Bay.

The accident happened at around 9.15 p.m. at the Erba Imwiezeb roundabout, the police said.

A Peugeot 407 driven by an 18-year-old man was heading towards Bugibba when it crashed into a Matiz, in which the elderly couple were travelling.

Sources said the Matiz was pushed about 15 metres with the force of impact and the Peugeot then crashed into a palm tree.

The woman, Patricia Mitchell, died on the spot while the man died a few hours later in hospital. The 18-year-old suffered slight injuries.

These were the second and third fatalities of the day after a 54-year-old German woman died after being hit by a car in Ghajnsielem early in the evening.

Magisterial Inquiries are being held.
