A 42-year-old woman, the driver of a black Toyota Corolla, was airlifted to a trauma centre without vital signs. She was pronounced dead in hospital.
A child was rushed to hospital by ambulance with life-threatening injuries. She died later on Monday.
A 28-year-old man, the driver of a black Infinity G35, is recovering from minor injuries. A five-month-old infant, who was also in the Infinity, was sent to hospital as a precaution.
