A 50-year-old Italian man was seriously injured late yesterday when he was accidentally hit by a car, then run over, in Aldo Moro Road in Marsa.
The police explained that shortly before 9pm the man was hit by an Opel Astra driven by a 42-year-old from Ħal Għaxaq.
A Nissan Qashqai driven by a 38-year-old from Żejtun then crashed into the Astra, pushing it onto the victim.
Rescuers from the Civil Protection Department and policemen lifted the Astra to release the Italian, who was then rushed to hospital.
A magisterial inquiry is under way.
