TANGKAK: Three members of a family, including a two-year-old boy, were killed when the car they were travelling in was involved in an accident with two other vehicles at KM 44.5 of Jalan Muar-Segamat, near here, yesterday afternoon.
Tangkak district police chief Supt Mohd Fadhil Minhat said the police received a distress call regarding an incident involving two black and grey Perodua Myvi cars and a Mazda car at 3.50 pm.
He said Aarish Ammar Harunarashid died at Tangkak Hospital, while his mother and grandmother, Nor Haliza Hamzah, 36, and Siti Fatimah Ladri, 71, were pronounced dead at the scene.
The victim's father, Harunarashid Ghazali, 34, was slightly injured and taken to Tangkak Hospital for further treatment, he added.
"The crash is believed to have occurred when the victims' black Myvi car, which was heading from Tangkak towards Segamat, was hit by a grey Myvi car from the opposite direction that wanted to overtake another vehicle before it skidded and plunged into a ravine.

All the victims' bodies were taken to Tangkak Hospital mortuary for autopsy.
