Six Maltese tourists in Sicily were involved in a head-on collision with a car on via Peppino Impastato between Pozzallo and Modica, resulting in injuries. 

Three men and three women were hurt in the incident, with one woman sustaining a broken hip and others experiencing injuries such as a broken jaw, fractured elbow, and fractured shoulder. 

The car they collided with, a Volkswagen T-Roc, had a driver and two passengers. The car’s front passenger suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to the Cannizzaro di Catania hospital.

Three of the injured Maltese individuals were taken to the Ragusa hospital, including a woman with an elbow fracture who requires air ambulance transport back to Malta, a man with a fractured shoulder, and another man in stable condition. 

The remaining three were admitted to the Modica hospital, with one woman needing hip surgery, while one man has been discharged. Discussions are ongoing between Maltese and Italian health authorities to arrange for the injured woman’s return to Malta via air ambulance. 

The Maltese Embassy in Rome and the consul in Catania are in constant contact with the affected tourists.

‘The record draws upon inspirations from modern artists as well as heritage acts, from the lyrical wordsmithery that is Bob Dylan to the hooky melodic songs of The 1975.’

It was produced and mixed by long-time friend and multi-instrumentalist Chris Vella, who has worked with the likes of James Arthur and Bastille, and then mastered by Jordan Timms, whose credits include Dua Lipa. 

‘The album includes features from Maltese rapper Milo Banks, and Netherlands-based Pete Galea on drums and percussion.’

Yesterday, 31st August 2023, Nina the turtle was released from Gnejna Bay in the presence of Parliamentary Secretary for Fisheries Alicia Bugeja Said.

Nina was rescued on 8th December 2022 after getting entangled in marine debris. As a consequence, it could not dive and was then hit by a boat.

The entanglement with the rear flipper caused a lot of damage, and was the cause of the flipper amputation.

However Nina started responding to treatment and adapted very quickly to having only 3 flippers.

The video was shared by Wildlife Rescue Team Malta, with the volunteers who helped Nina recover having wildlife handling permits and training.

Here’s a little appreciation post for those keeping Malta clean and safe day and night – whether it’s on the roads on our shores, or whether its in an entertainment zone or following a national activity or local feast. 

The workers of Clean Malta – Cleansing and Maintenance Division are always ready to go on site and make sure that people on the island find a safe environment. 

The department also depends on the citizen’s contribution to the work, encouraging people to not litter, to take out the waste bags in the allocated time and day and to pick up waste if possible.
