Two French pensioners were rushed to hospital this afternoon after they were hit by a car while walking on the Coast Road.
The two victims, an 80-year-old woman and 84-year-old man, were both hurt when they were hit by a Jaguar X-Type being driven by a 23-year-old man from Mosta. The accident happened just after 7pm.
Both were taken to Mater Dei hospital by ambulance, where doctors determined that both their injuries were serious.
Magistrate Doreen Clarke is leading an inquiry into the incident.
