A seven-month-old baby boy survived a fatal accident involving three cars which left three women dead in Gerik this evening.
Muhammad Danial Mirza Saiful Haslim who was on his mother, Roslina Othman's lap in a Proton Exora sustained minor injuries. His mother however, was seriously injured.
The deceased were identified as Wong Mee Lai, 47; Foke Yoke Wah, 25; and Woke Mei Yong, 44, all from Perak. They were passengers of a Perodua Myvi car.
The other car involved in the collision was a Kia Spectra.

He said the Myvi driver, Chong Yah Wen, 23, sustained head and body injuries while another passenger, Wong Mei Chan had minor injuries.
Speaking to Bernama here tonight, Ismail said the accident was believed to have occurred when the Myvi which was travelling from Gerik to Kuala Kangsar was hit in the rear by the Kia Spectra, causing it to veer into the opposite lane and collide with the oncoming Exora.
