A 71-year-old priest escaped with cuts and bruises after his white Suzuki Alto wedged itself beneath a public transport bus in Italian Mission Road, Kalkara, yesterday.
The priest resides at the Capuchin Friary in San Ġwann.
Although it is not yet clear what led to the accident, a police spokesman said the driver's side of the car ended up right under the steps of the bus used by passengers.
The bus was being driven by a 55-year-old man from Żejtun.
The accident happened at about 11.30 a.m.
