Two pensioners have been hospitalised after their car hit concrete barriers being used to separate lanes during roadworks on Triq Aldo Moro in Marsa.
The car, a Mercedes Benz, overturned, trapping the 76-year-old driver from Birkirkara, and his 74-year-old female passenger.
Police later said the man was seriously injured but that the woman was only slightly hurt.
Investigations are still under way.
