SEREMBAN: A man was burnt to death after the car he was driving caught fire along Jalan Seremban-Kuala Pilah near Balai Undang Sungai Ujong, near here, early this morning.
Seremban district police chief ACP Nanda Maarof said the 35-year-old victim was driving alone towards Kuala Pilah from Seremban when the accident happened at about 4.50am.
