JATIM - The police stated that there was a possibility of negligence behind the fatal accident that caused Vanessa Angel and Febri Ardiansyah's husband to die. This is because the car driven by Tubagus Jody is suspected to be traveling over the speed limit.

"There is a possibility of negligence," said East Java Police Traffic Director Kombes Latif Usman to VOI, Friday, November 5.

However, Latif said, his side's investigation has not led to an element of negligence. Because the investigation team is still waiting for Jody's condition to recover from the accident. "We haven't explored that direction yet," said Latif.

"For the time being, we will first provide assistance, inspection," he continued.

Although he could not determine with certainty the element of negligence, Latif emphasized that in the accident sequence there was an act of violation. One of them, driving above the speed limit.

Where, in the toll road the speed limit is regulated in Government Regulation No. 79 of 2013 concerning the Road Traffic and Transportation (LLAJ) network article 23 paragraph 4.

According to the regulation, the speed limit for vehicles on inner-city toll roads is 60 kilometers per hour. Meanwhile, toll roads outside the city have a speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour.

"Yes, of course (violations), accidents always begin with violations," said Latif.
