An elderly woman was killed late last night after she was run over as she was crossing a zebra crossing in Mosta.

The 77-year-old woman was run over as she crossed the busy road, and was killed on the spot, the police said. A 47-year-old man who was also about to get into his car was also injured in the incident. 

The car was driven by a 27-year-old woman from St Paul's Bay, who also had to be taken to hospital since she was suffering from shock. 

The police are investigating. The road was partially closed after the incident at 10pm.
