Valletta-bound traffic on Tigné seafront in Sliema was temporarily diverted this evening after a car crash forced police to close off the road.  

The crash involved a 25-year-old St Julian's woman driving a Fiat 500 and a 63-year-old man behind the wheel of a Citroen, which smashed into a parked van following the crash impact. The accident happened at around 8.45pm. 

The man and his 46-year-old female passenger, both St Julian's residents, were taken to Mater Dei hospital for treatment, police sources said.

Their medical condition is not yet known, although sources indicated their injuries are not serious.
