A Korean woman has been killed when her car crashed off a cliff in northern Malta.

According to the Korean Embassy in Italy Sunday (local time), the resident in Balzan, central Malta, was found dead after her rental car, a Citroen C1, went off the cliff into Birguma valley at around 8 a.m. Friday.

It is unclear how the incident happened. A Korea official said the embassy was cooperating with police.

Witnesses reportedly said they saw the car parked at the top of the cliff the day before the incident.
