A young driver escaped practically unscathed from a nasty traffic accident in which his car was destroyed yesterday morning.
The driver, 20, was driving to work along Marsascala Road, towards Żabbar, at about 6 a.m. when his Fiat Uno smashed into a lamppost, overturned and came to a rest in the middle of the road, the police said.
Although he was trapped in the mangled metal and had to be freed by rescue workers, he only suffered a couple of cuts and bruises.
