Driver injured in three-way crash on Regional Road

A 26-year-old man from Kalkara was hospitalised after he was involved in a three-way crash in the Regional Road, Santa Venera.

The crash occurred at around 1:30pm on the carriageway leading up to the Marsa-Hamrun bypass, close to the tunnel. A police spokesperson told MaltaToday that one of the men involved had been driving in the opposite carriageway towards Msida, when he skidded right through the hedge separating the lanes and crashed into the other two cars.

The drivers of the other two cars involved in the crash– a 42 year old man from Dingli and a 59-year-old man from Bormla – did not suffer any injuries.

Police closed off the entire carriageway to traffic , but have since reopened one lane.
