The second accident happened when an Italian man fell into a hole one metre deep. He suffered laceration wounds below his knee, injuries to the head as well as other minor wound spread along his body.

Both men, who are in their 60s, were taken to Mgarr Harbour and on to Gozo hospital for further treatment.
