A toddler was killed when he fell out of his parents’ car and was run over by another vehicle in Ulu Tiram, Johor Baru on Saturday.
According to a report by The New Straits Times, the incident happened at around 8.30pm at Jalan Lebuh Cemerlang when two-year-old Goh Hao Zheng Jayden, who was reportedly sitting in the back seat of the car, fell out of the vehicle.
Seri Alam district police chief Superintendent Jokhiri Abd Aziz told the daily that at the time of the incident, the toddler’s father, who was driving the car, was making a U-turn towards Plentong.
“When making the U-turn, the back door of the car opened and this led to the victim falling out of the car.
“At the same time, another vehicle which was tailing behind could not avoid the victim in time and ran over him when he fell in the middle of the road,” Supt Jokhiri was quoted as saying.
Goh reportedly suffered severe head injuries and was pronounced dead while the was being rushed to the Sultan Ismail Hospital, Supt Jokhiri added.
