SUKABUMI - Dozens of tourists from Tangerang, Banten, passengers of a travel vehicle that crashed into a road divider and rolled over at Early Rise, Cilegok Village, Sukabumi Regency, West Java, are still undergoing treatment at the emergency room at the Palabuhanratu Hospital.

"There are dozens of tourists who were victims of a traffic accident in Girimukti Village, Ciemas District, who are now being treated at the Emergency Room at the Palabuhanratu Hospital, with details of 12 people suffering minor injuries and one person suffering serious head injuries," said Public Relations of the Palabuhanratu Hospital, Billy, as reported by ANTARA, Sunday, July 24.

According to Billy, in addition to the injured, one tourist who died in a single accident on behalf of Rosalia Sri Widianinsih, was also evacuated to Palabuhanratu Hospital. Some of the injured tourists are now starting to improve.

As previously reported, a single accident that occurred on Sunday at around 16.00 western Indonesia time, began when traveling with police number B 7762 TAA driven by Sukarman carrying dozens of tourists from Tangerang about to return home after traveling at the Ciletuh Geopark tourist attraction, Ciemas District.

Initially, the speed of the vehicle was running in normal conditions, but when crossing the Early Rise, precisely on the derivatives and sharp turns, the driver could not control the speed of the vehicle because the brakes did not work.

The declining and steep road conditions made the vehicle speed up and eventually hit the road divider until it rolled over which resulted in one tourist on behalf of Rosalia Sri Widianingsih (a resident of Tangerang City) dying at the location.
