An accident involving three cars in the Cipularang toll road in West Java early Monday morning killed three, injured five heavily, and one lightly.
The three: Ismai Najib and Dedi Subandi from Cibiru, Bandung, and Tendi Haruman from Cileunyi, Bandung, were passengers of a “travel” minivan, often used as the transport to carry passengers in Jakarta – Bandung routes.
The accident happened in the kilometer 100 of the Cipularang toll road, near Cisomang bridge, Purwakarta.
Head of the Purbaleunyi toll road traffic service division, Andrie, said that the accident happened because the “travel” minivan tried to take over a truck, but failed and hit the hind of the truck instead.
“…The road was ascending, so the travel car’s engine went off, and finally it reversed. The driver ran away,” he said as quoted by Tempointeraktif.com.
When the travel car was reversing, another car hit it from behind, causing the former to stray into the swamps beside the toll road.
