The 20-year-old died before arriving at hospital, the civil protection brigade which conducted the rescue said.

The fatal accident comes six months after a 14-year-old girl fell to her death in a manhole in the area of Bhar Lazreg in the north-east coastal city of Marsa.

The child’s body was recovered two kilometres (one mile) away from the site of the accident.
