A 13-year-old girl was killed by a lorry while attempting to cross the North-South Expressway (NSE).

Dashcam footage uploaded on the Facebook page JB 爆料网 (JB Breaking News) shows that around 9:52 AM the day before, a girl and two others were attempting to cross the busy NSE on foot.

A lorry travelling at high speed was unable to avoid hitting the girl.

The other two individuals remained standing on the road after witnessing the girl being struck down.

However, the dashcam footage was blurry, so the three individuals’ complete actions could not be seen.
