In the 2.30 pm accident, Adam Rizqi Zul Azlan of Taman Medan Jaya, Petaling Jaya, died at the scene after sustaining serious head injuries.
His mother, Siti Hajar Md Aziz, 28, sustained serious injuries in the head and face and was rushed to the Dungun Hospital before being transferred to Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital in Kuala Terengganu, for further treatment.
