Baby boy thrown out from car in accident in Melaka

PETALING JAYA: 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 near a petrol station in Balai Panjang, Melaka, last night.

At the time, the baby was seated on the mother’s lap in the rear passenger seat, Bernama reported.

The baby landed on the grass verge by the roadside, acting Melaka Tengah police chief Halim Abas said.

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

Halim said the incident occurred at about 10pm when the car was exiting a petrol station onto the highway and was involved in a crash with another vehicle.

Halim said both victims were treated at Melaka Hospital before being allowed to return home after they were confirmed to be in stable condition.

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