A trailer truck this morning missed the bridge at Aldo Moro Road in Marsa by a whisker stopping less than 15cms away from it, eyewitnesses said.

The truck, which was driving towards Valletta, had a folded over crane on top of it.

Last April, an unlicensed and uninsured trailer carrying an excavator crashed into the bridge, causing traffic chaos.

The truck had rammed the footbridge and repair works on it were carried out by Transport Malta a few days ago.
