Two men are battling for their lives after being involved in separate road accidents yesterday.

The first took place at 2 a.m. when a 21-year-old man from Mqabba lost control of his Fiat Punto and crashed into a wall in Ħal Farruġ Road, Luqa, the police said.

In the other accident, which occurred at 7.45 a.m., a 19-year-old man from Kalkara lost control of his Toyota Corolla just before he entered the south-bound tunnel on Regional Road, St Julians.

The man was caught in the wreckage and had to be freed by Civil Protection Department personnel.

Duty Magistrate Edwina Grima was informed.
