A 20-year-old driver was grievously injured early this morning in a collision between a car and a van in a poorly-lit section of the Coast Road near the former White Rocks complex at about 2.30am.

The police said a Ford Transit driven by a 22-year-old man from Birzebbuga ended up  facing the wrong direction during the collision with a Peaugeot 405 driven by a 20-year-old man from Mgarr.

Both drivers were hospitalised, with the car driver being the more seriously hurt.
