Toddler in miraculous escape after being flung out of vehicle in two-car collision

SEREMBAN: A two-year-old boy miraculously survived after he was flung out of a vehicle he was travelling in with his family in a crash involving another vehicle on the southbound North-South Expressway near Senawang.

Negri Sembilan Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief Supt Ibrahim Mohd Abdul Kadir said the toddler sustained injuries in his forearms and head, and is being treated at Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital here.

He said in the 3.21pm incident on Tuesday, the boy was thrown out of the vehicle due to the impact of the collision with another car that was being driven dangerously.

"The suspect who was driving a Perodua Myvi on the left lane drew up alongside a Honda Jazz on the right lane before it returned to the left lane.


"He tried to change lanes once again but collided with a Honda Civic, causing the Civic to lose control and ram into the road divider before crashing into the rear end of the Myvi," he said in a statement.

A video clip on the crash also went viral.

Ibrahim said police had arrested the Myvi driver and the case was being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving. The 20-year-year-old man will be remanded until Friday.
