A NINE-YEAR-OLD girl was killed after she was hit by a trailer on her way home from school in Kampung Telok Gong, Port Klang, this morning.

Selangor Fire and Rescue Department director Morni Mamat said that the department received the distress call at 11.25am.

Morni said a trailer crashed into a motorcycle ridden by a 54-year-old woman, who was ferrying a seven-year-old boy and the girl home from school.

“The woman was the children’s babysitter, who fetched them both from school when the accident occurred.

“The babysitter and the boy suffered minor injuries, while the girl died at the scene,” Morni said today.

Morni added that the girl’s remains were handed over to the police for further action, while the other two victims were taken to Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR) Klang, for further treatment. – Bernama, March 22, 2023.
