A speeding van crashed into a road divider on the highway between the airport island Hulhulé and the capital’s suburb Hulhumalé on Thursday morning.
The van was travelling from Malé when the accident occurred, police said. The plastic dividers were smashed into pieces, one of which went flying and hit a taxi travelling in the opposite direction.
In a separate accident in Malè, a housing ministry car collided with a motorcycle on the outer ring road of the capital.
The accident occurred because the motorbike switched on to the four-wheeler lane without warning, police said. The 24-year-old woman on the motorbike had been driving with an expired license.
