A 55-year-old man from Mtarfa suffered serious head injuries today when parts of a wall collapsed in Balzan.
The man had been on a lorry demolishing the wall, in Robert Mifsud Bonnici Street, after it became dangerous as a result of the weekend weather, according to people on the scene.
He jumped from the vehicle as stone slabs came crashing down but was unable to avoid injury.
Another person who was working with him was not injured.
