"Because he was the cause, he was not careful in riding a motorcycle," said Traffic Director of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Latif Usman to reporters, Friday, January 27. In the series of accidents, Hasya was considered negligent because he suddenly turned to the right. At that time Hasya turned to the right to avoid puddles. Because, the condition was raining. "Because, we should be driving it can anticipate like this, suddenly turning. He should have been in the rainy weather and must know the conditions," he said. "Yes, his negligence resulted in an accident. This is due to his negligence resulting in death," Latif continued, adding that he had not made a mistake. He was considered to be on the right hand according to the applicable rules. "First, he was already on his own path. With the distance we calculated Mr. Eko could not have avoided it. Even though Mr. Eko said he had swerved left but there was not enough room to avoid accidents," said Latif.
