Two-year-old boy killed by reversing car

A two-year-old boy was killed in a freak accident after being hit by a reversing car with his older brother allegedly playing inside in Taman Kerian near here today.

Mohd Adam died of serious head injuries at the scene.

The victim’s father, Mohd Ali Hussin, 53, said the incident occurred at about 12.30pm after he returned home to pick up goods from the house shortly after sending his wife to Alor Pongsu, Bagan Serai.

“I rushed out after hearing a loud noise outside the house and found my son, Aiman Yasin tried to start the car engine but to no avail. The car reversed and hit Mohd Adam who was playing behind it,” he said.

Mohd Ali said Mohd Adam was sandwiched between the car and the wall of the house.

Kerian police chief Supt Mat Fauzi Nayan confirmed the incident.
