Anarchics In Teluknaga, And Disappointed Residents Against Officials In The Case Of A Boy Being Hit By A Truck

TANGERANG - The destruction of a number of trucks in Teluknaga, Tangerang is proof that the residents' anger is already boiling. At its peak, when a 9-year-old girl was hit by a dump truck on Jalan Raya Salembaran. Police officers were also targeted by residents for allowing truck activities that were deemed to violate regulations.

The destruction of trucks and police vehicles is considered a form of citizen disappointment with the government which is considered slow in taking firm action against violating the rules. Because, according to local residents, truck accidents have often occurred in the area.

As is known, this stubborn truck should not be able to pass from 05.00 WIB to 17.00 WIB. However, until now there are still many trucks passing and endangering road users.

Usman, one of the residents of Teluknaga, said that similar incidents have often occurred and caused casualties. This made residents angry and disappointed, resulting in anarchic actions.

"We can't wait anymore. This incident has happened many times. We ask the government to strictly enforce the existing regulations," said Usman.

The destruction of the black Fortuner car, the Deputy Head of the Tangerang Metro Police, was also attacked by residents. The mob hit the car using wood and threw stones at him.

'Disband, father defends the people, sir. It's a pity for the school children to leave, sir,' shouted a woman in the video she saw.

The anarchist action carried out by residents was the aftermath of an accident that left a 9-year-old boy injured all over his body.

Information obtained, the accident began when dump trucks came from Kosambi to Teluknaga passing in Raya Salembaran. Not long after, the motorbike driven by the victim preceded the ground truck from the left.

The road section that the victim was passing by on a motorbike was too narrow so that the victim fell to the right and then hit the wheel of the truck. Residents who saw the incident immediately gathered and secured the truck driver.

Residents were angry to see the victim's physical condition was so fatal. The victim was immediately taken to the Tangerang District Hospital for medical treatment. Meanwhile, the truck driver with the initials DWA was taken to the Tangerang City Metro Police for legal processing.

The process of DWA to the police did not make residents relieved. Their anger actually exploded and eventually damaged the truck that hit the victim.

Not satisfied, residents also carried out sweeping dump trucks that often operated in the area. This is because residents consider the operation of dump trucks that violate the rules to be the cause of accidents, and that often happens.

A total of 12 land trucks that lined up on the side of the road were also destroyed by residents. And one truck was burned by residents in the project area.

Police cars were also targeted by residents. They damaged the official vehicle of the Tangerang City Metro Police Deputy. Residents consider the police to have neglected truck activities that violate the regulations.
