A young tourist fell in a Qawra hotel shaft yesterday evening.

Sources said the incident occurred at about 9.15pm and the police were on site shortly afterwards. Civil Protection Department personnel were still working to lift the girl, in her late teens or early 20s, from the four-star hotel’s shaft at the time of going to print.

The police could only confirm that a report about a fall had been received but had no further details.

The girl’s condition could not be ascertained.
