A number of young people were injured yesterday evening when a structure holding lighting fixtures at an open-air party collapsed.
The incident happened at about 9 p.m. near Ta' Fra Ben Restaurant in Qawra, an area buffeted by strong winds. Eyewitnesses said as many as 10 people were taken to hospital in three ambulances.
The condition of the injured could not be established at the time of going to press, although sources said one had serious head injuries. There was a "panic" immediately following the incident, the eyewitnesses said.
The activity, organised by two night club owners, was attended by hundreds of people.
