A German resident in Malta was injured this afternoon in a traffic accident in Mgarr Road, Gozo.

Informed sources said that the man was driving a VW Polo which appears to have tried to overtake a truck. It hit the truck's double wheel and was thrown onto a wall, bouncing back into the path of the truck for a second collision.

The driver, who was initially thought to have been British, is not believed to have life-threatening injuries.
