A TRIP for a couple to buy milk turned into tragedy when their 11-month-old baby girl died after the car they were travelling in skidded off the road after it hit a herd of cows at KM49 of Jalan Kerayong–Simpang Kepayang in Bera on Thursday.
Bera District Police Chief, Superintendent Zulkiflee Nazir said the victim, Nur Adriana Amira Mohamad Norismail of Felda Purun, was confirmed dead while receiving treatment at Klinik Bandar 32.
According to him, initial investigations found that in the incident at about 9.40pm, the Perodua Bezza car driven by the 22-year-old father was heading from the direction of Kepayang towards Kerayong.
"When they arrived at the scene, a group of cows suddenly came out from the left to the right of the road, causing the driver to hit the animals before the vehicle skidded to the side of the road," he said in a statement on Friday.
He added that the 21-year-old mother, who was holding her child in the front passenger seat at the time, suffered head injuries, while the driver was not injured.
