A 17-year-old boy who was found driving illegally last month was involved in a traffic accident this morning, and the police are investigating whether he was actually behind the wheel.
This morning's incident, in Triq il-Lanca in lower Valletta, happened at about 10am when a white BMW hit a parked car.
The police held the boy for questioning, even though he claimed he was not the one driving the BMW.
Damage to the two vehicles was slight.
Last month the boy led the police on a car chase until he was blocked and arrested in Valletta.
The boy is the brother of a 12-year-old found driving on a number of occasions last year.
