BANDAR PERMAISURI: A nine-month-old baby girl was killed in a four-car collision at Kilometre 79 of Jalan Kuala Terengganu–Kota Bharu, near Kampung Bukit Grebar.

Setiu district police chief Supt Mohd Zain Mat Dris said the victim, Nur Athiya Inara Isnorizal, succumbed to head injuries while receiving treatment at Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital in Kuala Terengganu at 8.09 pm yesterday.

The victim’s father sustained an injury to his left leg, while her mother suffered swelling on her lip and left hand.

The drivers and passengers of the other three vehicles escaped unhurt.

The incident was believed to have occurred when the car driven by the victim’s father went out of control and crashed into the rear of another Perodua Axia that had stopped to make a right turn.

Following the collision, both Perodua Axia cars spun and were hit by a Honda Accord coming from the opposite direction.

That Honda Accord then lost control and crashed into another Honda Accord parked by the roadside.

The injured victims were taken to Setiu Hospital for treatment.

The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. – Bernama
