Four people have been hospitalised, with one in danger of dying, after they were hit by a car while waiting on a bus stop on Wednesday morning. The driver of a vehicle was also injured

The police said that the accident happened at around 8:45am in Triq it-Tempesta in Qrendi.

Preliminary investigations showed that a 44-year-old man from Qrendi lost control of his Mercedes Benz and crashed into a parked Toyota Vitz.

Upon impact, the Vitz moved from where it was and hit a bus stop where four people were waiting.

Out of the four, a 62-year-old woman from Qrendi was certified as suffering from life threatening injuries.

The other three – a 66-year-old woman, a 68-year-old woman and an 88-year-old man – were all hospitalised.  The latter two were certified as having suffered grievous injuries, according to a statement by police later on Wednesday.  The 66-year-old's condition was still pending by Wednesday evening.

The driver of the Mercedes was hospitalised as well, and was certified as having suffered light injuries.

Duty magistrate Leonard Caruana is leading an inquiry while police said that their investigations are also ongoing.
