A woman was for some time this morning a prisoner in her own Mosta apartment after the front door got blocked with stones and rubble when two balconies collapsed.

The incident happened in Constitution Street, Mosta, at around 7am.

The police said not one was injured and the woman was eventually helped out by members of the Civil Protection Department and the police.

It is believed that the incident was caused by the weather.

The rain was also the cause of many traffic jams all around Malta this morning with some drivers reporting they took 1.5 hrs to get to Valletta from Marsascala.

A car could also be seen stuck in a massive pothole in Main Street, Lija, where works were carried out in the past weeks. The photo posted on the social media.
