A young bus driver was yesterday given a suspended jail term and banned from driving for one month after he mounted a pavement and hit two teenagers in Qormi on Saturday, leaving one of them seriously injured.

David Attard, 21, from Qormi admitted to involuntarily causing serious injuries to a 13-year old Reece Debono and slightly injuring 16-year-old Kurt Scicluna while driving at excessive speed.

The accident took place a few metres away from a zebra crossing and one of the victims was slammed against a metal door.

The youngest of the victims ended up with three broken toes and may have to have one of them amputated.
