A motorcyclist who suffered a five per cent disability when he was hit by a car in Gozo in 2017 has been awarded almost €40,000 in damages after a court concluded that the driver was to blame for the accident.
Presiding over the First Hall of the Civil Court in Gozo, Magistrate Brigette Sultana found that Guido Taddeo Farrugia was solely to blame for the accident that saw the motorcyclist, George Zahra, suffer serious injuries.
The court heard how the traffic accident took place at around 8am on June 15, when Zahra was riding his motorcycle in Triq l-Għarb in Għarb.

Documents presented in court by a Planning Authority representative on Monday indicated that a masterplan application to upgrade St Luke’s hospital, submitted in 2020 by the operator, Steward Malta Assets Ltd, had been suspended until the required documents were collated by the applicant’s consultants.
Two men were hospitalised in the early hours of Saturday morning after they injured each other in a fight in Żebbuġ, Gozo.
The two men, aged 35 and 40 and both from Somalia, got into an argument in Triq il-Port at around midnight. The fight escalated and involved a glass bottle and knife, investigators believe.
A medical team was called to the scene and took both men to Gozo General Hospital for treatment. Both were grievously hurt in the altercation.
The police are investigating further.
