I had just arrived home and as I crossed the road and was entering my house on Triq l-Ilma, Swieqi, I fell into a "ditch" (above).

People should be working in this road. However, I can't understand how they could leave something like that just in front of one's house with no adequate signs to make you aware of it.

I injured my leg and it could have been much worse. I could have easily broken my leg and only because of these careless workers. I am a 17-year old. Imagine if an older person had fallen in. The workers could have created a passage for pedestrians to cross onto the pavement without having to jump over the ditch.
