A 17-year-old girl was seriously injured when she was hit by a car while crossing December 13 road in Marsa this morning.
The incident happened at about 9.45 near the statue of Our Lady. That part of the busy road had to be closed while the girl was taken to hospital and the police carried out their investigations.
The car, a Toyota Vitz, was being driven by a 34-year-old man from Vittoriosa.
It was the third serous incident on December 13 road this week. On Monday a man was hit by a taxi near Blata l-Bajda flyover, and five people were injured in a collision involving a taxi and a car yesterday.
