Maltese Man Investigated After Killing Woman & 2 Kids In France Crash

Nov 24 2024

A tragic car crash in northern France last Saturday claimed the lives of 42-year-old Laetitia Savary and her sons, Naël, 8, and Yanis, 10. The accident occurred on the A26 motorway near Gavrelle when a car driven by a 52-year-old Maltese man collided into their vehicle at high speed.

The woman and her children were declared dead at the scene, while the driver, found to be under the influence of drugs, was hospitalised with serious injuries. He is now under investigation for involuntary manslaughter.

The victims’ hometown of Vimy mourned their loss with a silent march, where residents carried white flowers and candles.

Organized by the boys’ school, a parents’ association, and a local football club, the march saw participants walk from the town’s stadium to the school and town hall. Handwritten tributes from classmates adorned the town hall, expressing grief and remembrance.

A crowdfunding campaign launched to support the victims’ funeral has raised over €17,000. Psychological support is being provided to first responders who attended the harrowing scene. Investigations into the crash are ongoing.

Nov 24 2024

Harry Kane set a new Bundesliga record as the fastest player to score 50 goals, achieving the milestone in just 43 games during Bayern Munich’s 3-0 victory over Augsburg.

The 31-year-old England striker scored all three of Bayern’s goals, surpassing Erling Haaland’s record of 50 goals in 50 games for Borussia Dortmund.

After a goalless first half, Kane broke the deadlock with two penalty goals and capped off his hat-trick with a stunning finish. In added time, Leon Goretzka delivered a precise cross, which Kane skillfully controlled to outwit the Augsburg goalkeeper before heading into an open net.

Reflecting on the game, Kane said, “We just kept pushing, and once the penalty came, the game opened up.” Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany praised Kane, noting, “Even when tightly marked, he capitalizes on the smallest opportunities.”

The win solidified Bayern’s position at the top of the Bundesliga, now eight points clear of RB Leipzig.

The team remains unbeaten in 11 games this season, with nine wins and two draws. Kane has contributed 14 goals to Bayern’s campaign so far. Bayern now turns its focus to an upcoming Champions League clash against PSG, hoping Kane’s scoring streak continues.

Nov 24 2024

Six months after earning 13,000 votes in the European Parliament election, Arnold Cassola, former Green Party chairperson and independent candidate, revealed with MaltaToday progress on forming a new political party.

While still in its early stages, Cassola hinted at an official launch in the coming months, emphasising that the initiative is a collective effort rather than a personal project.

Cassola described the party as a platform for individuals seeking change, focused on values such as democracy, human rights, and environmental sustainability—areas he feels traditional parties have neglected.

The initiative has already gained attention, with brainstorming “vision circles” attracting activists, professionals, and disillusioned Labour voters. Another such event is planned for January.
