\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Police believe the car was being driven at speed before the driver lost control.<\/p>\n A 20-year-old Singaporean was the sole survivor of a fatal car crash in Kuala Lumpur early on Saturday (Jun. 27).
<\/p>\n The sports car had skidded, crashed and burst into flames, reported Malaysian media.
<\/p>\n The Singaporean, who was in the back seat, escaped with minor injuries.
<\/p>\n The driver and front-seat passenger, both university students, were trapped inside and burnt to death.
<\/p>\n The car is believed to have skidded before catching fire at the Jalan Kuching exit ramp on the Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE), the New Straits Times <\/em><\/a>(NST) reported.
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n The Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department said rescuers were sent to the scene after it received an emergency call at 5:20am.
<\/p>\n They arrived to find the vehicle engulfed in flames.
<\/p>\n While they managed to rescue one of the victims, the other two remained trapped in the car and were burnt to death, said the department’s operations commander.
<\/p>\n They managed to extinguish the fire, but the car was “destroyed”, he said.
<\/p>\n The car, a BMW, was driven by a 22-year-old Malaysian man who was a student at the University of Brisbane in Australia.
<\/p>\n The 21-year-old front-seat passenger was a student studying in Sunway University<\/a> in Malaysia.
<\/p>\n The two casualties have not been formally identified.
<\/p>\n The Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department Chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Zamzuri said this would be done through DNA analysis, NST<\/em><\/a> reported.
<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Singaporean suffered minor injuries to his hands and legs and was taken to Kuala Lumpur Hospital for treatment.
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Police believe the car was being driven at speed before the driver lost control and crashed into a road divider, The Star<\/em><\/a> reported.
<\/p>\n The impact apparently caused it to catch fire.
<\/p>\n Officers have requested CCTV footage from the area and carried out preliminary questioning, with the survivor’s statement also being recorded.
<\/p>\n The cause of the accident and fire is still under investigation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
