A 54-year-old man from Victoria has died after he was run over by a car this afternoon following an argument.

The police said the man was run over at Qbajjar in Gozo at about 3.30pm following an argument with a 63-year-old man from Zebbug, Gozo.

The argument apparently started over  the cutting of some branches.

The 63-year-old got into his Daihatsu Terios and drove towards the other man, running him over and grievously injuring him. He passed away some hours later.

The 63-year-old also suffered injuries during the argument.

An inquiry is being held.
