Pawlu Xuereb, aged 67, is the man who tragically lost his life this morning in Ħal Far after becoming trapped between two lorries.
The 67-year-old man from Ħaż-Żebbuġ lost his life this morning in an incident that occurred in the industrial area within the limits of Ħal Far.
When the incident happened, emergency services were called after police were informed that a person had been injured after being struck by a vehicle.
Police attended the scene immediately and, from a preliminary investigation, it emerged that a lorry, which the victim had been operating, moved forward on its own for some reason, resulting in the man being caught between it and another stationary lorry.
A medical team from Mater Dei Hospital arrived promptly at the scene, but sadly the man was declared dead at the scene.

On that day, riots broke out in Valletta, the capital of Malta, as Maltese civilians protested against the British administration’s handling of post-war hardships.
The event formed part of the official remembrance ceremonies organised by Festivals Malta. Attendees included government officials, dignitaries, and members of the armed forces, who gathered to reflect on the events of 1919 and their lasting impact on Maltese national identity.
