Mum reverses car into toddler
KUALA LUMPUR: A three-year-old girl was killed when her mother, who was driving her car out of a car park in Desa Sri Hartamas, knocked into the child who was outside the vehicle.
Isabel Cheong died on the spot after suffering head injuries when her 29-year-old mother reversed the car.
She did not notice that her child was behind the car yesterday at Jalan 25/70A, acting city traffic police chief Deputy Supt Ng Fook Long said.
“The mother only realised she had run over her child after hearing her cries. She immediately got down to check what had happened.
“Passers-by tried to help pull the child out, but by the time she was dislodged from under the car, she had died,” he said.
The body was sent to Kuala Lumpur Hospital for a post-mortem.
