MARAN: A two-year-old girl was killed when her father accidently reversed his four-wheel-drive vehicle over her at Felda Jengka 10 near here this morning.
Nur Aireena Ilhani Azizi was standing behind the Toyota Hilux when the vehicle struck her about 8.45am.
Her father Azizi Ramli, 47, said he was traumatised by the whole incident which claimed his only daughter's life.
"I regret the incident and am lost for words. My only daughter is no longer around," he said before refusing to speak further on the matter.
The victim's eldest brother Muhammad Aiman Azizi, 18, said he only realised what happened when his mother Noraini Mohamad, 41, began to shout his sister's name frantically.
"I was sitting at the counter at our grocery shop beside our house, and did not realise that my sister had gone out of the house. I only noticed her lying in a pool of blood behind my father's car.
"My father rushed her to the hospital but later he called to inform that Nur Aireena had passed away," said Azizi.
It is learnt that the incident happened after the victim's father had returned to the premises following his delivery of some goods.
Nur Aireena Ilhani, the youngest of four siblings, was buried at Felda Jengka 10 Muslim burial ground about 3pm this afternoon.
Maran district police chief Deputy Superintendent Mazlan Hassan confirmed the incident.
