A 25-year-old man was grievously hurt early on Saturday morning when he was involved in a collision with a pick-up truck in Pietá.

The victim, who is from Nepal, was riding a Kymco motorbike on Triq Qrejten at 5.15am when he collided with a Toyota Hilux driven by a 59-year-old Siġġiewi man.

A medical team was summoned to the site and administered first-aid before taking the victim to Mater Dei Hospital, where he is being treated.

A police investigation is under way.
