MERSING - A Form Three girl was killed after being hit by a four-wheel drive while crossing the road at Jalan Penyabong, Endau here yesterday.

Mersing Police chief Supt Abdul Razak Abdullah Sani said that in the 3.45pm incident, 15-year-old Syuhada Zafirah Samin was believed to be returning home from school by bus.

"Investigations found that the man driving the Toyota Hilux was on his way from Penyabong to Endau here and it was drizzling at that time.
