Two motorists were taken to Mater Dei Hospital on Saturday after being seriously injured in two separate accidents in the morning.

The first accident happened at around 7:30am, when a woman was injured in a collision with another such vehicle on Triq is-Salina in Naxxar.

The police said the St Paul’s Bay resident was carrying an 83-year-old Naxxar resident as passenger when her Symphony SR motorcycle was involved in a collision with a Honda motorcycle being ridden by a 50-year-old man from Mosta.

The second incident occurred around an hour later, at around 8:30am, when police believe a 24-year-old female Żebbuġ resident lost control of the Suzuki Swift she was driving and collided with a wall on Triq Ħ’Attard in her locality.

Both women were taken to Mater Dei Hospital where they were certified as being seriously injured.

Police investigations into both incidents are ongoing.

Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that the Symphony SR motorcycle collided with the Honda motorcyle.
