Initial assessments reveal a distressing scene: the elderly pedestrian, whose identity remains undisclosed, was hit by the motorcycle. Despite the swift arrival of medical aid, the gravity of his injuries necessitated urgent transportation to Mater Dei Hospital. Subsequent medical evaluation delivered a grim diagnosis: the elderly was certified with serious injuries, and therefore is fighting for his life.
