The 19-year-old postwoman who died in a traffic accident in Marsa this morning while delivering the mail has been identified as Elenia Briffa.

Elenia was driving her work vehicle, a Paxster, at around 8am when it overturned along Triq Ħal Qormi, close to MaltaPost’s headquarters. She was flung out into the road and the vehicle landed on top of her.

In a statement, MaltaPost said it is deeply saddened by Elenia’s death and offered its sympathy to her family, colleagues and friends.
