Man Critical After Lorry-Car Crush in Sliema

A man was trapped between a lorry and a car in Sliema, Malta and taken to hospital in critical condition. He survived the initial response. Emergency services transported him for treatment, though the full circumstances of how he became caught between the two vehicles have not been reported.

The incident took place in Sliema, one of Malta's most densely populated districts, where commercial and residential traffic moves through narrow streets throughout the day. Details including the exact location within Sliema, the time the incident occurred and the sequence of events that led to the man being pinned between the lorry and the car have not appeared in published reports.

His identity has not been named in available coverage. Whether police have opened a formal inquiry into the incident has not been reported. Sliema's streets carry significant volumes of heavy goods vehicles alongside private cars and pedestrians, a combination that makes incidents of this kind particularly serious.
