Man seriously injured after slipping off path at Wied il-Mielah

A 24-year-old Maltese man was taken to the Gozo General Hospital after he slipped off the path in Wied il-Mielah, limits of Ghasri, Gozo.

The man, a resident of Kalkara, slipped from the path which leads to the Wied il-Mielah window and suffered a 2-storey fall, police said.

Reports say that the man survived the fall, but had to be rescued by the Civil Protection Department at around 12:45pm on Sunday.

From photographs obtained by MaltaToday, it appears that the railing surrounding the path was missing – possibly having been damaged in a recent storm.

The man was certified as suffering from serious injuries.
