A woman is in danger of dying and two were grievously injured after a parked car was forced onto her and three others as they waited at a bus stop in Qrendi on Wednesday morning. 

The incident happened on Triq it-Tempesta at 8.45am, the police said, when a man driving a Mercedes Benz lost control of his car and crashed into a parked Toyota Vitz. 

The force of the impact led the Vitz to crash onto four bus commuters waiting at a nearby bus stop. They are aged 62, 66, 68 and 88, all Qrendi residents.
