A 46-year-old man from Mtarfa was critically injured yesterday when his car skidded, crashed into the historic aqueduct and then into a tree opposite the Farsons brewery in Mrieħel.
The accident happened at about 2.45 p.m. on the Valletta-bound lane. Civil Protection Department rescuers were called in to free the man from the wreckage. An ambulance rushed him to Mater Dei Hospital. He was at first in danger of dying but his condition improved later.
Magistrate Silvio Meli appointed experts to help in the magisterial inquiry.
