One-month-old baby suffers head injuries after falling out of car in Melaka crash

MELAKA, June 2 — A one-month-old baby boy was injured after being thrown from a car in a crash involving two vehicles along the Lebuh Alor Gajah-Melaka Tengah-Jasin (AMJ) near a petrol station in Balai Panjang here last night.

Acting Melaka Tengah district police chief Supt Halim Abas said the incident occurred at about 10pm when a Proton Saga with the baby boy and his parents on board was exiting a petrol station onto Lebuh AMJ before it was involved in a crash with another vehicle.

“As a result of the incident, the baby, who was in his mother’s lap in the rear passenger seat, was thrown from the car onto a nearby grass verge.

“The baby suffered swelling to the head, while the mother experienced back pain and the father was uninjured,” he said in a statement here today.

Halim said both victims were treated at Melaka Hospital before being allowed to return home after their conditions were confirmed stable.

He said police had identified the other vehicle involved in the incident, and further investigations into the case were being carried out.

The case is being investigated under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, and members of the public with information on the incident are urged to contact investigating officer Insp Ahmad Adhwa Jamal, at 011-26905852 to assist in the investigation. — Bernama
