Bus Drives Into Steps Of The Triton Fountain In Valletta, Destroying A Tree
A bus drove into the steps of the Triton Fountain in Valletta last night at around 7:55pm in an incident that left one young tree completely broken on the ground.
A spokesperson from Malta Public Transport confirmed that no-one was injured in the incident last night, saying an internal investigation has now been set up.
“It was a minor accident – no one was injured, with no passengers on the bus. Accidents have been reduced by 25% when comparing 2018 to 2015. Our response team was on site immediately and an internal investigation is underway,” the spokesperson said.
The tree will be replaced, authorities have confirmed, and it remains unconfirmed whether the Triton Fountain steps were damaged.
