A THREE-year-old girl was killed and two adults injured in a single-vehicle accident involving a Perodua Myvi that veered off the road at Jalan Adda 5, Taman Adda Heights, in Johor Bharu just after midnight.

Senior Fire Officer II Izwan Abdullah from the Tebrau Fire and Rescue Station said the emergency call was received at 12.39am.

“Upon arrival at the scene, our team found three victims inside the vehicle,” he said in a statement.
