A 31-year-old man was rushed to hospital on Sunday morning after being badly hurt in a crash on a slip road leading to the Marsa-Ħamrun bypass.

The man, who is from San Ġwann and was behind of a Toyota Vitz, collided with a Toyota Raktis being driven by a 35-year-old Dutchman who lives in Paola. An infant was also riding in that car, the police said.

Both vehicles crashed on a slip road leading to the bypass from Triq Diċembru 13. The road was temporarily closed to traffic while officials cleared it of crash debris.

Paramedics took all three incident victims to hospital. While the Dutch driver and the baby were only slightly injured, the 31-year-old is understood to have been more seriously hurt.
