JAKARTA - A motorcyclist fell and fell into a sewer channel covered with water due to flooding on Jalan Kampung Tengah, Kramat Jati District, East Jakarta. The victim, a motorcyclist, was crossing the road and was about to turn into the alley. Suddenly the motorbike driven by the victim fell into a water channel one meter deep.

"The water is very high, the water overflows onto the road. Because there is no road divider, the turns are also not visible. If someone turns, they don't know that this road (definitely) has fallen," said Alfi, one of the local residents to reporters, Thursday, February 16.

The motorcyclist, who is an online motorcycle taxi, does not know if the water overflows and inundates the road. The victim also did not think that there would be a channel hole without a closing sign in the area.

"The incident occurred around 23.00 WIB at night, currently residents are still busy. All the water on the streets was flooded. There were already many victims here. Last night the victim seemed to be an online motorcycle taxi. Residents who gathered immediately helped the victim. The victim managed to survive, and the motorbike was also lifted," he said.

According to residents, the incident continued to repeat itself because there was no barrier or cover of the water channel.

"We residents want to be given barriers, it's a pity for people to work. On average, all outsiders are victims," he said.
