Fgura Crash: Two Hospitalised, Investigation Underway

Emergency services rushed to Fgura on Tuesday evening following a collision that left two drivers hospitalised. The crash, which involved a car and a van, occurred around 7:30 PM at the intersection of Triq il-Kbira and Triq Santa Marija.

The intersection, a busy junction connecting Fgura to nearby towns like Żejtun and Żabbar, was quickly cordoned off by police. Witnesses reported seeing both vehicles with significant damage, with the car appearing to have been T-boned by the van. The force of the impact caused debris to scatter across the road, with shattered glass and twisted metal visible at the scene.

Both drivers were immediately taken to Mater Dei Hospital by ambulance, with reports suggesting that their injuries were serious but not life-threatening. The exact nature of their injuries has not been disclosed, but sources indicate that one driver suffered a suspected broken leg, while the other had possible internal injuries.

No passengers were involved in the crash, and no other injuries were reported. However, the incident caused significant traffic delays in the area, with motorists advised to avoid the intersection while emergency services worked at the scene.

The police have launched an investigation into the cause of the crash. Early indications suggest that the car may have failed to yield at the give-way sign, leading to the collision with the van. However, investigations are ongoing, and no charges have been laid at this time.

In a statement, the police reminded motorists of to road signs and rules, particularly at busy intersections. They also urged anyone who may have witnessed the crash to come forward with information.

The crash caused significant traffic delays in the area, with motorists advised to avoid the intersection of Triq il-Kbira and Triq Santa Marija if possible. Diversions were put in place, with traffic diverted along Triq San Ġorġ and Triq il-Madonna.
