‘Mommy, it hurts’: Malaysian woman makes last call to mother after car is crushed by container

It was a call Ms Lim never wanted to receive, but it will stay with her for the rest of her life.

When a shipping container crushed 21-year-old Lee Zi Rou’s car, the first thing she did was call her mother for help.

“Mommy, it hurts so much!” Lee exclaimed during her brief phone conversation with Lim, who shared the heartbreaking conversation in an interview with local Chinese daily China Press on Thursday.

Sadly, Lee died shortly after making that phone call.

She was waiting at a traffic light on a road in Penang state on Wednesday morning when the incident occurred.

Videos shared on Malaysian social media showed the container rolling off the trailer and falling on Lee’s car after the truck drove from an intersection onto the adjacent road at high speed.
