4 in family killed in Kulim crash


FOUR members of a family, including a two-month-old baby, were killed and two others seriously injured after the car they were travelling in collided with a trailer lorry along Jalan Titi Karangan-Baling in Kulim yesterday.

Kulim district police chief Mohd Redzuan Salleh said the Perodua Bezza, driven by a 32-year-old man, was heading home to Baling from the direction of Kulim when the crash happened.

“The driver, his 30-year-old wife, their two-month-old daughter and the driver’s 59-year-old mother-in-law died on the spot.

“Another of their daughter, aged two, and the 14-year-old brother of the man’s wife were seriously injured and admitted to Kulim Hospital,” he said in a statement last night.

He said police were informed of the crash at 4.45pm, and investigations showed the car had skidded and entered the opposite lane where it was hit by the trailer lorry, driven by a 57-year-old man.

The trailer lorry driver escaped unhurt, he said. – Bernama, June 28, 2023.
