A 6-year-old and a baby survived a two-vehicle crash in Seneca County Saturday that killed their mother. Several other people were injured.

The Seneca County Sheriff's Office said that Marie L. Perez, 41, of Route 96 Romulus, was northbound on Route 89 in the town of Covert at about noon Saturday when she lost control of her car on a curve and slid into the path of a pickup truck coming the other way.

Police said that the Ford Focus being driven by Perez was "demolished" by the passenger-side impact with the pickup and that Perez was pronounced dead at the scene. Her children, Jasmine I. Uresti, 6, and Elaina ML Carlsen, 5 months, were both in the rear seat in child restraints.

Jasmine Uresti was treated at the scene and transported by Trumansburg Ambulance to Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse where she was being treated for head and arm injuries. Elaina Carlsen was transported to Upstate hospital to be checked over, police said.
