A TWO-month-old baby girl was killed, while her parents injured in an accident on the Alor Gajah-Melaka Tengah-Jasin (AMJ) Highway near Batu Gajah, yesterday.
Jasin Police Chief Mohamad Rusli Mat said the baby, Nur Hafirzah Qintina Shahrul Asraf Naim, died after more than two hours treatment at the Sultanah Fatimah Specialist Hospital (HPSF), Muar.
He said her father, Shahrul Asraf Naim Khasiran, 35, and mother, Nurulnadiah Balqis Abdullah, 22, each suffered injuries to their head.
