An insurance agent lost her life while four others sustained injuries in an accident at Kilometre 63, Nenasi-Rompin Road, Pekan involving three vehicles, yesterday.

Pekan District police chief Supt Amran Sidek said in the incident at 1.30pm, Samzilah Mohamad, 39, who was driving a Honda Civic was confirmed dead at Rompin Hospital.

Two of the deceased's children, Yasmin Sofiah Mahfduz, 10, and Marisa Amani, 7, sustained head injuries.
