SEMARANG - One person died in an accident between the Harina Train, the Bandung-Surabaya connection, and a truck at a level crossing on Jalan Kaligawe, Semarang City, Central Java, Thursday, May 8 morning.
Semarang Police Traffic Head AKBP Yunaldi said one victim who died in the accident was the driver of the soybean truck.
"One died, the truck driver," Yunaldi was quoted as saying by ANTARA, Thursday, May 8.
Meanwhile, for the chronology of the truck accident with the train and the identity of the deceased, Yunaldi said that the police were still in the process of identifying the police.
Public Relations Manager of PT Kereta Api Indonesia Operational Area 4 Semarang Franoto Wibowo said the accident site was a level crossing with bars and doorkeepers.
He said that Harina's train departed from Semarang to Surabaya. The driver of KA Harina had repeatedly honked her horn before the incident.
The truck is thought to have continued to pass even though the crossing siren has sounded. The train's LOcomotive hit the truck's cabin until it bounced and the cargo scattered.
Franoto said the Harina train series had to be withdrawn to Semarang Tawang Station for further investigation.
