A 15-year-old girl died yesterday, a day after she was hit by a car near the Cottonera Sports Complex, the police said.
She was crossing the road with her six-year-old brother on Saturday when they were struck by a Toyota Vitz driven by a 38-year-old man from Pieta.
The girl died on Sunday night. The boy was slightly injured. A magisterial inquiry is under way.
This was the second traffic fatality in as many days. A man died when his pick-up van was involved in a collision with a car near St Vincent de Paul Home on Saturday evening.
