A six-year-old girl is among three injured passengers who were riding in an Alfa Romeo Giulietta that collided with a truck on the Telgħa t'Alla u Ommu in Naxxar this afternoon.

The girl and two other female passengers, aged 27 and 26, were hospitalised and treated for serious injuries.

The two vehicles were driving in the same direction towards Naxxar when the accident happened.

The Alfa Romeo was driven by a 36-year-old man from Mosta, while the truck was driven by a 55-year-old man from Fgura. Both drivers suffered no injuries. It is unclear what caused the accident.

The collision, which happened at 5.50pm, caused traffic jams all the way to Tal-Balal Road in San Ġwann.
