BANYUMAS - Banyumas City Police Traffic Unit officers investigated an accident involving an oil fuel tanker (BBM) with a motorcycle rider. "Based on the report received by the Ajibarang Traffic Post, the accident occurred on the Ajibarang-Gumerelar alternative road section at 10.15 WIB," said Head of the Banyumas Police Traffic Unit, Kompol Bobby Anugrah Rachman in Purwokerto, Banyumas, Antara, Monday, July 3. Based on the report, he said, Traffic Post officers Ajibarang immediately went to the scene to conduct an investigation and process the crime scene (TKP). From the results of the crime scene, he continued, it was known that the accident began when Jupiter's motorcycle with license plate number R-5490-VE driven by a housewife with the initials DS (35), a resident of Paningkaban RT 04 RW 02, Gumelar District, Banyumas, drove from north to south at moderate speed. "Arriving at the scene or about 20 meters south of the Darmakradenan Village At-Taqwa Mosque, the motorcyclist was about to precede a motorized vehicle," he said. However, simultaneously, he said, from the opposite direction came a fuel tanker truck with plate number H-8023-QF driven by YP (27), a resident of Wlahar Village, Adipala District, Cilacap Regency. Because the distance is already near, he continued, motorcyclists cannot avoid the fuel tanker truck, resulting in a traffic accident. "As a result of the incident, a woman who was riding a motorcycle, namely M (70), a resident of Paningkaban Village, died at the scene of the incident because she suffered a fracture to the front of her head and lacerations to her face," he explained. Meanwhile, the motorcyclist with the initials DS, he said, had to undergo treatment at the Ajibarang Hospital because he had a "fracture" on his right jaw and lacerations on his lower lip and right temple.
