A second accident took place in Addu City on Wednesday night, hours after one that left two injured.

The accident took place near the causeway connecting Feydhoo and Maradhoo-Feydhoo districts, reportedly after a man speeding on a motorcycle lost control of the vehicle. He is reported to have hit a pillar on the side of the road.

The man was riding solo and was taken to Hithadhoo Regional Hospital for treatment immediately. While the hospital has confirmed that a man was brought in with injuries following an accident, they refused to reveal any further details.

Photos from the scene have surfaced online, which show that the man sustained injuries to his head and face. A lot of blood can be seen in the pictures as well.

The latter- who was driving the motorcycle- is being treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), having sustained serious injuries to the head. She is to be transferred to capital Malé City for further treatment. The 17-year-old is in stable condition.
