A two-year-old boy has been transferred to Mater Dei from the Gozo Hospital after injuries sustained in an accident took a turn for the worse. 

The accident occurred on Monday at Triq ix-Xlendi, Munxar, at 2.45pm.

The boy was in a Hyundai Accent that was being driven by a 47-year-old woman from Munxar. The woman lost control of the car and crashed into an electricity pole.

An ambulance took both to hospital, where the woman was certified to be uninjured and the boy to be suffering from slight injuries.

But his condition later took a turn for the worse and he was transferred to Mater Dei Hospital by helicopter.

An inquiry is being held.

The police are investigating.
