A 91-year-old man was seriously injured this morning when his car overturned in Marsa this morning - not very far from the site where a car driven by a 15-year-old girl crashed, grievously wounding a passenger.

The police said the elderly driver from Sliema was driving a Toyota Starlet towards the Sta Venera tunnels when the incident happened.

The man was assisted by a medical team and Civil Protection Department Hospital before being taken to hospital.

His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
