NGAWI - Five people died and three others were critical due to a low MPV type vehicle, Mobilio, which he was traveling in, crashed into a tronton truck parked on the edge of the city ring road or Ring Road Ngawi entering Kandangan Village, Ngawi Regency, East Java this morning. "There were five victims who died and three were critical in the accident. Four people died at the scene and another died while undergoing treatment at Widodo Ngawi Hospital. All the victims were mobile passengers," said Head of the Ngawi Police Traffic Unit Iptu Achmad Fahmi Adiatma as quoted by Antara, Thursday, January 12 evening. The victims have been evacuated by officers. Two bodies of men and two female bodies were taken to dr. Soeroto Hospital. Meanwhile, another victim died at Widodo Hospital. Meanwhile, three critical passengers are also undergoing intensive care at Widodo Hospital. "The identity of the victim is still being collected. Because the critical victim cannot be questioned," he said. According to him, based on a temporary inspection, the accident occurred when the car was speeding from Madiun to Ngawi. While crossing the Ngawi city ring road, precisely in Kandangan Village, the car carrying eight people swerved and hit a trambesi tree and a tronton truck with police number N-8438-T which was parked. "The car hit a trambesi tree first, then hit a truck parked on the shoulder of the road. And the distance from the tree and the truck is approximately 90 meters," said Iptu Achmad. The process of evacuating victims is quite difficult because in addition to the conditions that are still dark at dawn, the body of the car is also crushed by the victims. Until now, police officers are still investigating the cause of the accident by conducting crime scenes and asking witnesses for statements. In addition, it was also found that the car was speeding and did not have time to brake and immediately hit a trambesi tree and the next hit a parking tronton truck. The driver of the tronton truck Suswanto Edi Chandra (34), a resident of Pandaan, Pasuruan Regency and his kenek, was eating at a roadside stall not far from the scene. Iptu Achmad added, although in one of the pockets of the passenger's car jacket, Jowo's wine was found, his party is still conducting further investigations into the accident that killed the five victims.
