Boy’s foot run over by tow vehicle during Merdeka parade
His mother says an X-ray showed no broken bones, although her son remained under observation in hospital in Kuala Terengganu.
A three-year-old boy suffered a foot injury after being accidentally run over by a tow vehicle during the 2026 National Day parade in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysian authorities reported. The incident happened around 9:45 am in front of Wisma Persekutuan, according to Puteri Anis Athirah Wan Rosli, the boy's mother. Her son, Che Ku Khairul Amir Che Ku Khairul Azlan, was followed by his seven-year-old sister when her mother noticed him falling before being struck by the vehicle carrying a fire and rescue department boat.
Puteri Anis expressed relief that an X-ray revealed no broken bones, though her son remained under observation at Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital. She also thanked the police for their prompt response and assistance in transporting her son to the hospital, clarifying that she did not blame the firefighters for the accident, which occurred due to her son's excitement. The exact cause of the incident is currently under police investigation.
