A man from Zurrieq, who was in danger of dying after crashing his motorbike in Mellieha last night, is now stable.

The accident happened at around 10pm in Triq il-Marfa when the Yamaha and a Volkswagen crashed head-on. The vehicles were going in opposite directions when the crash occurred.

The car, driven by a 45-year-old woman from Mosta, was heading in the direction towards Mellieha whilst the 27-year-old biker was driving towards the Gozo ferry.

An ambulance was called on site which transferred the man to Mater Dei Hospital. He was later certified to be in danger of dying, the Police said. The second driver did not suffer any injuries.

A magisterial inquiry is underway.
