No one was seriously injured this evening when a bus crashed into a field.

The incident happened at about 7 p.m. as the bus was being driven towards Rabat from Dingli. The accident appears to have happened when the driver swerved to avoid an oncoming car.

Rescuers from the Civil Protection Department and the Police were on the scene. Eyewitnesses said some passengers appeared dazed and two were taken to hospital, although their injuries did not appear to be serious.

There were six passengers in the bus.
