This is awful

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.

I always have this thought at the back of my head when reversing my car from the garage. What if I didn't see and I ran over something / someone. i.e: my dogs, my cat....or palis-palis urang..doi!!

This is ultimately scary and as for the case above, I can't imagine the mom's feelings at the sight of the daughter pinned under the car like that. To make things worse, it was done by her.

OMG!

what a sad case. but the mother is to be blamed.

shd hv slowly reversed the car. so if terlanggar something, would hv more time to react.

no matter how rush can it be, always be very gentle on the gas, especially auto.
