An 18-year old Spanish girl has been grievously injured in an accident at the Blue Lagoon, Comino.
Police said that the accident occurred at around 4.30pm on Thursday afternoon.
The initial investigations revealed that the young woman suffered injuries to her leg when, while boarding a ferry, she was hit by its propeller which was running at the time.
First assistance was provided at the scene by lifeguards from the Emergency Response and Rescue Corps (ERRC) rescuers. The young woman was transferred to the Gozo General Hospital, where she was later certified to have sustained serious injuries.
Police investigations related to this incident are ongoing.
