A 30-year old Greek man was seriously injured this morning after being hit by a car on a Gozo Channel ferry.

Police said that they were called to the Mgarr port at around 9.30am on Friday morning.

Preliminary investigation showed that a 26-year old Irish woman had lost control of her Ford Ka while it was on a ramp, which then rolled backwards hitting the man.

The man was taken to the Gozo General hospital for further treatment where he later was certified as having sustained serious injuries.

A Magisterial Inquiry was appointed into the case.

Police investigations are still ongoing.
