A 57-year-old Italian man residing in Mellieha died in a traffic accident in Triq il-Banjijiet Rumani, limits of Mgarr, early this afternoon. Investigations are being carried out to establish if the man died as a result of natural causes rather than the crash itself.
The police said the man was driving a Citroen Xsara Picasso towards Mgarr when he hit another car and slightly injured a woman. He then crashed into a barrier and a wall. Damage to the car was not extensive.
A medical team tried to revive the man, but he died on the scene.
Duty Magistrate Dr C Stafrace Zammit LLD is leading an inquiry.
