Charles Borg, 43, of San Gwann, lost his life late last week after failing to recover from grievous head injuries sustained during a traffic accident in Marsa last August.

Borg had crashed with his trailer in Marsa, with initial investigations suggesting that Borg had lost control of the vehicle and his trailer got unhooked. The vehicle then crashed into a wall and overturned.

Members of the Civil Protection Department extracted the man from the trailer, while an ambulance conveyed him to Mater Dei Hospital. Borg spent time at the hospital's intensive therapy unit and was then transferred to another section. Unfortunately, his medical condition never improved and passed away last Thursday at 11:45 p.m.

The death toll of victims of traffic accidents has now risen to 10.
