KUALA LUMPUR – Two individuals who were burned in a road crash when their car burst into flames at Jalan Kuala Garing, Rawang, near here early today were confirmed a married couple.
Acting Gombak district police chief Noor Ariffin Mohamad Nasir said the husband and wife, both locals, were aged 26 and 23.
