Two motorcycle drivers were grievously hurt on Wednesday after separate traffic accidents.

The first accident happened at around 8am in Triq Valletta, Marsa.

Preliminary investigations suggest that there was a collision between a 28-year-old Indian motorcycle driver and a Toyota Ractis driven by a 51-year-old woman from Rabat.

The second incident happened 15 minutes later in Żurrieq’s Triq il-Belt Valletta.

Police say that a 30-year-old woman riding a motorcycle was involved in a collision with a Toyota Yaris driven by a 38-year-old woman who lives in Żurrieq.

Medical teams aided both victims before they were taken to hospital, where they were later certified as having sustained grievous injuries.

Police investigations are still ongoing.
