Earlier today, a 75-year-old man from Safi lost his life in an accident in an alley in Triq Wied iż-Żurrieq, Żurrieq.
At around half past seven in the morning (0730 hrs), assistance was requested after the Police were informed that a person was injured after being hit by a vehicle. From initial investigations it appears that an Isuzu KC truck, which was being used by the victim, for some reason moved alone, with the consequence that the man was pinned between the truck and a rubble wall.
Members from the Civil Protection Department and a medical team from Mater Dei Hospital were called on site to assist, but unfortunately he was certified dead on the spot.
Magistrate Dr Renata Farrugia LL .D was informed about the case and appointed a magisterial inquiry while Police investigations are ongoing.
