Jesus Reina Is The 24-Year-Old Venezuelan Man Killed In Marsa Accident
Jesus Reina has been identified as the 24-year-old Venezuelan man who died in yesterday’s fatal accident in Marsa.
The 24-year-old died after he was run over while crossing the road on Triq Diċembru Tlettax, Marsa.
He was hit by a Mercedes Benz C250 that was being driven by a 66-year-old man from Fgura at around 2:10pm, after he had just gotten off the bus.
His girlfriend told Lovin Malta that she couldn’t locate him after the accident happened and that she had recognised his shoes from photos of the accident scene.
Tributes are flooding in from his loved ones, as Malta reels from the news of another death on the islands’ roads.
“Today I speak on behalf of every migrant with dreams, of every young person who leaves home alone to seek a better future. On behalf of every mother who despite the fruit of her womb and sees it open its wings,” one said.
“Thank you, Jesus Reina. Today you fly and leave love in all of us… Due to his asylum situation, we must leave the body in Malta, we will be raising funds to carry out the relevant ceremony.”
“We woke up this morning to the sad news that Jesus, one of our kitchen staff tragically lost his life in a traffic accident yesterday,” local restaurant AYU said in a post.
“It is difficult for us and the rest of the team to come to terms with this sudden loss. In view of this, we will not be opening AYU today to take some time off to support the whole team during this difficult time.”
Rest In Peace Jesus
