"Yes, it is true that there was an accident and we are currently dealing with it," said Head of the Traffic Police Majalengka AKP Luky Martono, in Majalengka, as reported by Antara, Sunday.

Luky said that his party was still handling the single accident, because the bus vehicle that had an accident was blocking the traffic lane.

"We are still controlling traffic, because the road was previously impassable by vehicles," he said.

General Manager Operation of Astra Tol, Cipali Suyitno, said the accident that occurred at Km 177 resulted in a passenger's death, 14 minor injuries, and three serious injuries.
