JAKARTA - A dam truck with police number BM 8398 MU crashed into a Datsun car with police number H 8554 AW, which was parked to replace the tires. The truck also hit one shop until it was badly damaged. The accident was caused by a hole in the road.

The accident occurred on Jalan Kampus UMK Kudus, Sunday, December 20. The owner of the Datsun car, Reza, said the accident was expected to occur at 04.30 WIB. The accident started when he crossed a large hole due to the collapse of a large tree on the roadside.

After the left front tire fell into the hole, he said, the tire immediately leaked so it had to be replaced. To change the tires of his car, he had parked the car some distance from the potholes and on the side of the road.

However, when he was changing car tires from behind, a large dam truck appeared which was also mired in the same hole, causing it to roll and crash into his parked car and the building that was used as a photocopying business.

"At the time of the incident, my friend who was sitting in the backseat was about to get out through the left door. Before he had time to get out, the truck suddenly flew through the left side and hit the door that was being opened," he said.

Luckily, his friend did not become a victim, because he had not had time to get out of the car, suddenly a large dam truck slid from the back and hit the car door until it was wrecked. The front truck was also wrecked.

Muhammad Yasir, the manager of a photocopying and office stationery (ATK) business place that was hit by a truck hopes the truck driver is responsible for the building where his father's business was badly damaged.

"Nearly half of the buildings were damaged and the roof of the building was destroyed and hit the copier," he said.

For the value of the loss, he said, we cannot estimate it. It is estimated that it is quite large because almost all valuables in the store were badly damaged.

Regarding the accident, the Traffic Police of the Kudus Police in carrying out the incident at the scene of the case stated that the cause of the truck driver lost control because he fell into a large hole on the roadside not far from the accident site.

After falling into the hole, the big dam truck became out of control and finally crashed into a parked car and an ATK shop as well as a photocopy service.
