A 27-year-old woman from Iklin was seriously injured in a traffic incident on the Birkirkara bypass on Friday night.

She was trapped in the wreckage of the Fiat Punto she was driving after it crashed into a barrier.

Rescuers from the Civil Protection Department were called to help pull out the victim. She was taken to hospital but her injuries were not life-threatening.

The car was being driven towards Msida and crashed close to the scene of another serious accident on July 14.

A set of traffic lights was destroyed in that crash, which to date have not been repaired.
