KUALA LUMPUR: An 8-year-old girl fractured her left thigh after she was flung out of a vehicle which was travelling along the Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway (DUKE) and fell from a height of about 15m onto a car that was parked at an auto show room at Jalan Pahang here.
A video of the incident, which occurred about 5.40pm on Saturday, has since gone viral on social media.
City Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department head Assistant Commissioner Zulkefly Yahya said the girl was travelling in a Toyota Estima car, with her father, aged 41, when he was believed to have lost control of the wheel, causing the vehicle to skid and then ram into the left side of the road barrier.
He said the impact was believed to have thrown the girl, who was in the rear seat, out of the vehicle.
The girl was flung out through the windscreen and over the road barrier before she landed on a car that was parked at an auto showroom below the Duke flyover at Jalan Pahang, he said when contacted today.
He said the girl had fractured her left thigh in the incident and was being treated at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital, while her father was not injured. — Bernama
