TWO people were burnt to death after a Mercedes carrying five occupants crashed and caught fire near Permas Jaya Golf Club, along the road towards Bakar Batu, early today.
Johor Jaya Fire and Rescue Station operations commander Razali Hussein said the department received an emergency call at 4.35am.
He said firefighters found the vehicle had apparently skidded off the road, overturned and caught fire, with about 90 per cent of the car engulfed in flames.
"Five victims were involved in the incident, three of whom managed to get out of the vehicle before the arrival of the fire and rescue team," he said.
A 23-year-old man suffered burns to his legs and hands and received initial treatment from firefighters before being taken to Sultan Ismail Hospital for further treatment.
Another victim was taken to hospital by members of the public.
Razali said the remaining two victims were found burnt to death inside the vehicle, with their identities yet to be established.
Firefighters used a hose reel to extinguish the blaze, and the bodies were subsequently handed over to the police for further action.
The operation ended at 6.47am. - November 10, 2026
