In the incident, Wan Shahrizat Azwan was travelling with his wife Nur Hasidah Razmi, 25, and their daughter Wan Sabeena Arisha when their vehicle, a Honda Jazz, hit a lamp post and caught fire in front of a bank on Jalan Gua Musang-Kuala Krai.
Wan Sabeena Arisha was found lying near their vehicle while her father was seriously burned, and her mother suffered minor injuries.
The three were heading to Pengkalan Chepa when the crash occurred at around 4.40am.
