The driver of a truck carrying two large slabs which was refused boarding on the Gozo Channel ferry from Mgarr this morning placed his vehicle partly on the ship's ramp to block the entrance keeping cars from boarding the vessel.

The MV Malita, which was scheduled to leave at 9.45 a.m. was still at Mgarr at 10.30 a.m. but the police had by then forced the truck driver to move and more cars were boarding as the driver continued to argue with the police.

The police said the driver is being arraigned at the Gozo Courts this evening.
