JAKARTA Four motorcyclists on Jalan Panjang Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta were hit by a truck loaded with flour. Allegedly, the truck suffered a failed brake so that it could not stop the vehicle.

"The incident took place around eleven o'clock in the afternoon. Initially the truck carrying the flour passed from west to south on Jalan Panjang," said Head of Laka Traffic Unit of the Kebon Jeruk Police, AKP Agus Toto, Tuesday, June 27.

Toto also explained that the truck with police number B 9914 UCN suffered a failed brake on the flyover near the Kedoya Elok Apartment.

"The brakes failed so they withdrew. It caused the two-wheeled vehicle behind it to be hit," said Agus.

Agus explained that there were four motorcyclists who were victims in the incident, namely one person who was injured who is currently being treated, while the other motorcyclist only suffered damage.

"Later, we will check the injured ones to the hospital," he said.

Meanwhile, the victim Baim (27), one of the motorcyclists who was the victim in the incident, admitted that he was surprised by what happened because at the time of the incident he was right behind the truck.

"My position is right behind (the truck), the truck suddenly withdrew and then crashed, a total of four motorbikes were hit, the worst two motorbikes, including my motorbike," he said.

Baim was not injured in the incident, but his motorbike was badly damaged.
