A 27-YEAR-OLD woman is in critical condition in hospital, after her boyfriend allegedly set her on fire.

The woman was burnt allegedly as she was trying to stop the man from setting her car on fire. The man got into the burning vehicle before jumping out.

According to ER24, when they arrived on the scene in Rynfield, Benoni, they found the car on fire in the parking area.

The paramedics found that a man had sustained critical burn injuries while two women had sustained serious burn wounds.
