JAKARTA - A series of accidents involving a number of trucks and motorbikes occurred on Jalan Diponegoro, Ungaran, Semarang Regency, Central Java, Thursday afternoon, March 10.

The Head of Public Relations of the Central Java Police, Kombes Pol. Iqbal Alqudusy, confirmed the unfortunate incident at two points on the national road.

The incident began when a soap truck was traveling from Solo to Semarang.

The truck lost control and had hit two other trucks in front of it at the location around the Ngudi Waluyo University campus.

"The truck apparently continued to drive about 500 meters towards the Undaris traffic light intersection," Iqbal said as quoted by Antara.

In the second location, the truck that lost control hit a sand truck and four motorbikes in front of it which were stopped at the traffic light.

Iqbal could not confirm the number of casualties or losses due to the incident.

According to him, officers in the field are still evacuating the vehicles involved in the accident and regulating the smooth flow of traffic due to the incident.

The police finally imposed "contra flow" on vehicles from the direction of Solo that were going to Semarang to break down the traffic jam.
