Last victim from Zurrieq bus crash flown to UK ITU facility

The last remaining casualty of March's horror double-decker crash in Zejtun was transferred to an intensive care facility in the UK last week.

Simon Morrison, 43, was left fighting for his life with a serious head wound, broken arm and eye injury in the 10 April accidet, which claimed the lives of a Bulgarian woman and a Belgian man.

Morrison, a football coach from Aberdeen, was flown to the UK in an air ambulance.

The transfer between hospitals involved the co-operation of the health authorities, the Foreign Affairs ministry and the Malta Tourism Authority.

According to The Sun, Morrison has since woken from a coma and has spoken to family members.

His brother-in-law Michael Henderson had also been seriously injured in the crash.

50 people had been treated for injuries, although the majority of casualties had suffered slight injuries. Six people had been taken to intensive care, including two young British boys.

At least two other victims had been flown to hospitals in their own countries.

The 24-year-old bus driver had been questioned by the police. A magisterial inquiry is underway.
