CIANJUR - The skull path or the Sukabumi-Cianjur Highway, Bangshadow Village, Gekbrong District, West Java (West Java), is back to normal. The wreckage of the truck that hit five vehicles was evacuated on the evening of Sunday, August 14.

Head of the Gakkum Polres Cianjur, Iptu Hadi Kurniawan, confirmed that the traffic flow at the scene of the incident had returned to normal from both directions this evening.

During the investigation and evacuation process, previously the flow of vehicles could not pass, so the line of vehicles stopped for 12 kilometers from both directions.

"We urge motorists to always be vigilant when crossing accident-prone lanes, such as the Gekbrong and Puncak skull paths," he said in Cianjur, West Java, quoted from Antara, August 14.

Vehicles from both directions were stuck in traffic for more than three hours when officers evacuated trucks carrying thousands of flour sacks and their scattered cargo covering the scene.

The driver was finally able to pass normally even though the speed of the vehicle stalled because the driver reduced the speed of the vehicle to see the scene of the crime.

​The carcasses of two trucks were immediately taken by the Cianjur Police Lakalantas unit to the evidence storage area on Jalan Raya Bandung-Cianjur.

Officers are still conducting investigations at the scene and are asking for statements from a number of eye witnesses.

Previously, Cianjur Police Chief AKBP Doni Hermawan said the accident started when a truck with the number F 9125 WA slid from Sukabumi to Cianjur when the brakes failed, hitting five vehicles.

"As a result, five people died consisting of motorcyclists and pedestrians. Previously the truck had hit two four-wheeled vehicles on the side of the road, before hitting a motorcycle and pedestrians," he said at the location.

Five bodies of victims consisting of motorcyclists and pedestrians were immediately taken to Cianjur Hospital for post-mortem.
