Three people aged between 19 and 25 suffered from spinal injuries yesterday after jumping from high rocks in Cominotto. They were assisted by lifeguards of the Emergency Response and Rescue Corps. The victims are from Britain, France and Puerto Rico. Two were taken to Mgarr Harbour and transferred to the Gozo General Hospital and one was airlifted to Mater Dei Hospital by the Armed Forces of Malta . Another five English language students suffered spinal injuries last week in separate incidents after taking a 21-metre leap from the same spot on Cominotto.
