The mayor of San Lawrenz has renewed an appeal for barriers to be set up on a dangerous bend on the road leading down to Dwejra, before tragedy strikes.

"We have for at least 10 years been asking for crash barriers before some disaster strikes, but nothing has happened," Noel Formosa said in a Facebook post. 

"It is fine to use Dwejra for publicity for our country but to stop there is unacceptable. The barriers are an urgent, humanitarian need." 

Only a two-course perimeter fence separates the road from a steep drop and should a car go out of control at the bend, there is nothing to stop it plunging down the valley below.
