A 15-year-old girl who was critically injured when she was hit by a car on Saturday near the Cottonera Sports Complex, passed away last night, the police said. She had been crossing the road with her six-year-old brother when they were hit by a Toyota Vitz driven by a man, 38, from Pieta. The boy was slightly injured. A magisterial inquiry is under way. It was the second traffic fatality in as many days. A man died when his pick-up van was involved in collision with a car near St Vincent de Paul Home on Saturday evening.
