The driver and four passengers of a white taxi were injured in a head-on collision on December 13 Road in Marsa yesterday afternoon.
The accident occurred on the taxi’s lane as it was heading for the airport. It is believed that a 21-year-old man from Luqa, driving towards Valletta, lost control of his Seat Ibiza and crossed the central strip, crashing into the taxi. All the people in the taxi, the driver and two Italian couples, were taken to hospital but the driver of the Seat did not need any medical treatment.
The road was closed for a few hours until the debris was cleared.
