The evacuation of the victim was successfully carried out at 10.40 Wita by the Bali Provincial Basarnas Team.

However, the vehicle suspected of being used by the victim could not be evacuated because the vehicle was stuck in the bridge manhole with high water conditions. The victim's identity has not been found by officers during the evacuation.

"For the victim's vehicle, it has not been evacuated because of the condition of being stuck inside the bridge culvert and the condition of the water which is still large makes it difficult to evacuate," he said.
