Watch: Two dead, seven injured in major road accident near Mosta
People on the scene said two cars had collided, with one of them ending up in a ditch and another on a centre strip.
A witness reported seeing a body covered by a sheet and an ambulance crew giving first aid to a woman on the centre strip.
An infant was seen in an ambulance. Another person was also hospitalised, in a serious condition. The crash involved a Red Audi and a blue Maruti.
The witness said four ambulances were on the scene and another two on the way as well as several fire-engines and police cars.
The accident happened on the site where road widening works are underway. A Ferrari sports car ended up in the same ditch a few metres away on Saturday morning.
The accident was a grim end to the weekend which also saw a 23-year-old German woman killed in a crash in Sta Lucija Avenue, Paola, when she fell off a motorcycle and was hit by a truck.
