Seven Killed In Train Gate Crossing Minibus

Minibus accident (Special)

JAKARTA - Mischievous drivers of two or four wheels seem to never give up. Even though the relevant officials often give appeals to always obey the regulations, there are still many violations that have occurred. In fact, some of the motorists' delinquency resulted in accidents that resulted in casualties.

Accidents that have claimed many lives, one of which is breaking through train lanes. The existence of a crossing door seems to have no meaning for naughty motorists. In fact, recently, seven people died as a result of being victims of accidents.

Saturday, December 21, evening, became a story in which seven people died as a result of being struck by a train in the Cibitung area, Bekasi, West Java. The incident started when a mini-bus with police number B 1778 FZI broke through the crossing which at that time almost closed the road.

At that time, the Argo Parahyangan Bandung Jakarta train hit the car. The four-wheeled vehicle containing a driver and six passengers was immediately tangled tens of meters from the crossing gate.

"The car broke through the railroad crossing and was hit by the Argo Parahyangan train in Bandung, Jakarta, which passed from east to west until it was dragged as far as 30 meters," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus in his family, Sunday, December 22.

So, the blue mini bus was damaged quite badly. In fact, all the people in the car could not be helped until they died. Then, the seven people were immediately taken to the nearest hospital.

"All of the victims were taken to the Bekasi District Hospital," said Yusri.

Separately, the Head of Public Relations for the Bekasi Metro Police, AKP Sunardi, added that from the examination of witnesses around the scene of the incident. Indeed, the railroad crossings do not close optimally. However, a loud alarm still works.

It's just that, the warning signs were ignored by the mini bus driver and continued to break through the crossing. Until finally, the accident was inevitable.

"Finally, the car was hit by the Argo Parahyangan train from Surabaya to Jakarta," said Sunardi.
