2-month-old baby among four dead in Kulim crash

ALOR STAR – Four members of a family including a 2-month-old baby were killed and two others were seriously injured when the car they were travelling in collided with a trailer along Jalan Titi Karangan-Baling in Kulim yesterday.

Kulim police chief Mohd Redzuan Salleh said the Perodua Bezza car, driven by a 32-year-old man, was heading home to Baling from the direction of Kulim when the accident happened. 

“The driver, his 30-year-old wife, their two-month-old daughter and the driver’s 59-year-old mother-in-law died on the spot. 

“Another of their daughter, aged 2 years old, and the 14-year-old brother of the man’s wife were seriously injured and admitted to Kulim Hospital,” he said in a statement last night.

He said police were informed of the accident around 4.45pm, and investigations showed that the car had skidded and entered the opposite lane where it was hit by the trailer, driven by a 57-year-old man. 

The trailer driver escaped unhurt, he said. – Bernama, June 28, 2023
