A young woman was hit by the Finance Minister’s official car when she attempted to cross National Road, Blata l-Bajda, yesterday afternoon. The minister was in the vehicle at the time, which could be seen with a smashed windscreen. Sources said that the woman, who was not seriously hurt, emerged in front of a stationary bus. Health Minister Godfrey Farrugia, who was in a separate car, stopped to give the woman first aid until an ambulance arrived.
