Janie TurnerThe woman, mother-of-three Janie Turner, 45. was a passenger in a Perodua Kancil, which also crashed into a wall and ended up on its side. The driver, 41 of St Paul's Bay, was hospitalised in a serious condition.
The second car, a Mazda, was driven by a 26-year-old from Sta Lucija, who was also hospitalised, albeit in a less serious condition.
A number of ambulances and rescue crews of the Civil Protection Department were deployed to the scene. At one time policemen were seen searching fields bordering the road amid fears that an infant - the woman's son - might have been in her car because baby things were found inside. Fortunately, he had not been with her.
The police are investigating and a magisterial inquiry has been called.
