Two vehicles collided on Selmun Hill on Saturday morning, forcing authorities to close the key road to traffic in both directions for around three hours.

Selmun Hill is a major road that connects Mellieħa to Xemxija.

A police spokesperson told Times of Malta that the collision was reported at around 10.30am and that emergency crews were called onsite as a precaution.

Police officers temporarily closed the road to traffic as a result. The road was reopened at around 1.30pm. 

The crash involved two vehicles, a Kia Picanto and Toyota Vitz. 

The Kia's driver was a 39-year-old Mellieħa woman who was slightly injured in the crash. A three-year-old girl riding in the car as a passenger was also slightly injured. 

The Toyota was being driven by a 26-year-old woman from Xewkija. A police spokesperson said she was not in any danger of dying. 

The crash was also reported by popular Facebook group Maltese Road Traffic Updates.
