Heavy traffic congestion was reported in Naxxar on Friday evening after witnesses reported a collision between a kick scooter and a car. 

The scooter and the car were seen surrounded by police a short distance away from the McDonald's drive-through. 

Photos taken from the site appear to show the scooter lying on the ground on the lane travelling towards Naxxar, while the other vehicle - which witnesses said had a cracked windscreen, was in the lane heading towards San Ġwann. 

Motorists started reporting heavy traffic congestion in the area at around 6.30 pm. 

A police spokesperson told Times of Malta the crash involved a Porsche 924 driven by a 73-year-old San Ġwann man who hit a 17-year-old teenage boy from Pembroke.

The teenager was taken to hospital by ambulance and found to have suffered slight injuries.
