Two Britons killed in car crash in Crete resort of Malia

Two Brits have been killed and a third is fighting for her life after a car crash in the resort of Malia in Crete.

Four passengers were believed to be travelling in a rented 4x4 when it hit a stationary motorbike at around 6am on Monday.

Local media reports said a male and a female died instantly, while another woman was seriously injured in the collision.

A fourth person, an 18-year-old man, escaped serious injury.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are supporting the families of three British people involved in a car accident in Crete, and are in contact with local authorities."

Malia is a popular destination for young holidaymakers, and is known for its nightlife, its sprawling beach and its easy access to Heraklion airport.
