"The car swerved into the opposite lane, and the oncoming motorcycle hit the side of the front door of the car," he said in a statement here last night.
He said the driver of the car, his son, and the motorcyclist died at the scene and their bodies were taken to Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Alor Setar for an autopsy.
"Meanwhile, the 11-year-old victim who was seriously injured was taken to the Kuala Nerang Hospital for further treatment," he said, adding that the case was being investigated under Section 41 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
