The minor stroke caused JRS to lose consciousness. At that time, the suspect's foot was on the gas pedal.

As a result, the speed of the Pejero car he was driving could not be slowed down. Until finally, it hit seven other vehicles, including a husband and wife couple who died.

"I had convulsions, I felt cramps, I was unconscious and the position of the cramps when my foot was on the gas pedal," said Sambodo.

The stroke attack and history of heart disease experienced by the suspect was strengthened by the medical file from the hospital.

On that basis, JRS was decided not to undergo temporary detention even though he had been named a suspect.

"So that when the incident occurred, the person concerned was unconscious. Therefore, we have not detained the suspect because the suspect himself is currently being treated at the hospital," said Sambodo.
