Nurse involved in Pembroke traffic accident succumbs to injuries

Marthese Zarb, the 52-year-old nurse who was involved in a traffic accident in Pembroke last week, has reportedly passed away after succumbing to her injuries.

State broadcaster TVM revealed that her family has agreed to donate her organs and that the transplants are expected to take place in the coming hours.

Zarb and her 18-year-old son were passengers in her husband’s car when the accident occurred in Triq Sant’Andrija last Saturday, a collision between their vehicle and a car driven by a 41-year-old man from Zabbar.

Zarb, her son, and the other driver all suffered grievous injuries while her husband escaped with slight injuries.
