A 25-year-old Dutch man who was critically injured in a car crash which injured seven other people on Friday morning, has succumbed to his injuries, the police said on Sunday. 

The incident happened at Gorg Borg Olivier Street, St Julian's when a Subaru Impresa car mounted the pavement on the seafront and ploughed into the people.

The other injured victims included two Britons and two Dutch men.

The 20-year-old driver who caused the accident was reportedly well over the drink limit. 

Eyewitnesses said his vehicle ploughed into two trees, uprooting them, and also destroying a lamp-post.

He left the scene but once the police arrived on the scene, a search was mounted and he was arrested. 

According to TVM, the victim's parents have donated his organs to patients in need.
