Later on Thursday, at 6:15pm, a 65-year-old woman from St Paul’s Bay suffered grievous injuries after being hit by a Toyota Vitz on Triq Mountbatten, Ħamrun.

Initial investigations show that the car was driven by a 41-year-old man from Żabbar.

The woman was treated by a medical team and then rushed to hospital.
