A motorcylist suffered arm and leg injuries after a crash with a sports utility vehicle in Tower Road, Sliema at around 2.15 p.m., eyewitnesses said. His injuries were not serious.

The police confirmed the accident, which happened opposite Independence Gardens.

Both the motorbike and the SUV were going in the same direction, towards Dingli Street. After crashing into the SUV, the motorbike rebounded onto a parked car across the road.

An ambulance arrived within minutes, but was blocked by two trucks approaching from the opposite direction. This prompted several onlookers to jeer and boo the truck-drivers, the eyewitnesses said.
