JAKARTA - Two motorcyclists had a single accident in the Pedongkelan Park area, Cengkareng, West Jakarta due to being caught in an aerial cable hanging towards the road.
As a result of the accident on Wednesday (11/6) at around 16:40 WIB, the two people whose identities have not been identified suffered injuries to several parts of their bodies.
In a viral video uploaded by the Instagram account @jakartabarat24jam, an adult man riding a motorcycle appears to have a wound on his chin. Meanwhile, another man who was riding was injured on his toe.
"Earlier I saw a box car hit by a cable. So I was the one behind it to avoid it but fell," the victim replied in the video footage.
From the conversation between the video maker and the victim, it seems that the cable was initially caught in a box car so that it stretched towards the road.
The victim, who was behind a box car, tried to avoid the cable that fell.
After showing the injuries suffered after the accident, the two victims fled the scene.
The cable that stretches seems to have crossed the road. Passing drivers must also slow down the speed of vehicles so they don't experience similar incidents.
The West Jakarta Metro Police Traffic Unit admitted that they had not received a report regarding the accident.
"There is no report to the Traffic Traffic Unit," said the Head of Law Enforcement (Gakkum) of the West Jakarta Metro Police Traffic Unit AKP Joko Siswanto via text message in Jakarta, Thursday.
