A 48-year-old traffic officer, Toni Galea (right) of San Ġwann, was critically injured yesterday morning in a collision which also involved a van and a car.
Mr Galea is a waterpolo player, having played with the St Julian’s team and the Marsascala team, who were this year’s first division champions. Mr Galea married his wife, Olga, in May.
The incident happened on the road between Mater Dei and Foster Clark’s in San Ġwann. Both the van and car drivers were hospitalised and received treatment for minor injuries.
