Kamal Ghali pleaded guilty to dangerous driving that killed 3-year-old Mila Wang in Melbourne, Oct. 17, 2024, after running a red light.

A 25-year-old man, Kamal Ghali, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing the death of three-year-old Mila Wang in Melbourne on October 17, 2024, after he ran a red light at a pedestrian crossing, striking her as she walked with family members. Mila was thrown nearly 30 meters and died from her injuries. Ghali, who stopped at the scene but called his father instead of emergency services, admitted he failed to see the red light despite being familiar with the area and warning signs. Prosecutors said the incident was a serious failure, not a momentary lapse, and Judge Trevor Wraight ruled a jail term with a non-parole period was mandatory, remanding Ghali into custody ahead of sentencing in December. The emotional hearing drew tears from both the victim’s family and Ghali.
