Two men were injured in a crash between a car and a small van in Notabile Road, Attard, at about 6 p.m. yesteday.

Police said a Suzuki van, driven by a 37-year-old Iraqi man residing at Żabbar, was involved in a head-on collision with a Subaru hatchback, driven by a 37-year-old man from Għaxaq. The van was being driven on the carriageway between Ħamrun and Attard when the driver apparently lost control while overtaking a bus driven by a 42-year-old Mosta man, ending up on the opposite carriageway.

The drivers of both vehicles ended up trapped in their cars and had to be taken out of the wreckage by members of the Civil Protection Department. They were both rushed to Mater Dei Hospital for treatment where the serious injuries were not found to be life threatening.

The bus driver was unhurt.
