KANGAR: A couple died while two of their children were injured after the car driven by their son skidded and crashed into a tree at KM17 of Jalan Alor Setar-Kangar, near the Kedah-Perlis border early this morning.
In the incident at about 4.55am, the victims, Ibrahim Mustaffa, 60, and Zaiton Saleh, 60, were killed at the scene.
