The accident happened on the Mistra bridge which carries the road from Xemxija to Mellieħa.

The south-bound lane was closed for some time but has now reopened, police said.

The woman’s medical condition was not immediately known.

The trailer was being driven by a 48-year-old man from Birzebbuga.
