A medical team was called on site and he was taken to the Gozo General Hospital, where he was later certified as suffering from serious injuries.

Reporting that the bike was a quadbike is very relevant but I cannot understand why in car accidents they mention the names of the car unless it is a Lamborgine or Freeari! In this case we are told that the quadbike was Adly 32OU quadbike. I think it is more important to tell us not the name of the quadbike but if it was rented or owned by the unfortunate driver. Quadbikes are not easy to drive and they were invented mainly for the big farms instead of a horse or a jeep to go around the farm. I believe a person can learn to drive them and manage them well but if we keep on hearing of rented quadebikes a accidents then we should open our ears to the message these rents are telling us.
