Two people were burnt to death after a Mercedes carrying five occupants crashed and burst into flames near Permas Jaya Golf Club, along the road towards Bakar Batu, early Tuesday.
Johor Jaya Fire and Rescue Station operations commander Razali Hussein said the department received an emergency call at 4.35am.
When firefighters arrived, they found the Mercedes had allegedly skidded off the road and overturned before catching fire, with about 90% of the vehicle engulfed in flames.
Five people were involved in the incident, but three managed to escape from the car before the fire and rescue team arrived.
One of the survivors, a 23-year-old man, suffered burns to his legs and hands. Firefighters provided initial treatment before he was taken to Sultan Ismail Hospital (HSI) for further medical attention.
Another survivor was also taken to hospital by members of the public.
However, two other occupants were found burnt to death inside the vehicle. Their identities have yet to be established.
Razali said firefighters used a hose reel to extinguish the blaze completely.
The two bodies were subsequently handed over to the police for further action, with the operation officially ending at 6.47am.
