Police efforts to track down a small white van which last night mowed down twin 11-year-old girls in Attard had still not yielded results by this afternoon, with number plate details given by a bystander having been wrong.

The two girls were hit by the van as they crossed the road on a zebra crossing after a catechism class. One of them was thrown violently against another car and is still in intensive Care at Mater Dei Hospital.

The van did not stop.
