It was removed by members of the Civil Protection Department.

On February 10 a Romanian driver was killed and his wife was critically injured when their car was crushed by a tree on the Rabat road.

Earlier in the year, two cars were extensively damaged when a tree fell in Valley Road, Msida, about half a kilometre down the road from the site of Sunday's incident.
