On May 28, a horrific accident took place at KM433.8 on the North-South Expressway near Kuala Kubu Baru, which cost the life of a three-month-old baby, MMO reported.

From the video, the white Perodua Axia that was driven by Shahril Salleh, 32, was cruising on the second lane while a Proton was approaching from behind.
For unknown reasons, the Proton driven by S. Nishanty, 27, swerved into the left lane and almost hit the Perodua.
Desperate to avoid collision, the Proton driver made a hard right turn, sending the car spinning out of control. Unfortunately, the Perodua was hit and crashed into the drain while the Proton crashed onto the road barrier.

Unfortunately, the huge impact resulted in Shahril’s wife, Rafnah Mongudancgal, 35, and his three-month-old baby, Aril Rizqin Redza getting thrown out of the car, said Hulu Selangor police chief Supt R. Supramaniam.
However, according to the witness, the baby wasn’t thrown out of the car as reported. In fact, he was the one who pulled open the car door and retrieved the baby who was stuck inside the car.
PLUS auxiliary police were nearby and they called for the ambulance, which arrived 30 minutes later. Meanwhile, the police arrived 50 minutes later after the accident.
