A French mother and her child were slightly injured when the bus they were riding in crashed with a car close to the Sliema Point Battery this afternoon.

The accident reportedly caused gridlock along Tower Road, Sliema. 

The two French tourists were taken to Mater Dei for treatment, police said. 

A video uploaded to Facebook showed seven public buses lined up behind one another further down the Sliema seafront, as traffic came grinding to a halt following the crash.
