A 21-year-old man has been seriously injured after an accident while at work earlier today.
The man, an Eritrean who lives in Birżebbuġa, was at work at a factory in the Ħal Far Industrial Zone today when marble blocks fell on him.
The accident happened at around 2.30pm today. It is as yet unknown what led to the accident.
