Public Relations of PT KAI Daop 1 Jakarta responded to a traffic accident that hit an M21 microlet city transportation unit (angkot) at the railroad crossing (KA) Pondok Jati Station, Matraman District, East Jakarta.

According to the Head of Public Relations of PT KAI Daop 1 Jakarta, Eva Chairunisa, the accident that occurred at the Pondok Jati Station train crossing (KA) was caused by the error of the microlet angkot itself.

"The question was hit by the angkot," said Eva when confirmed by VOI, Sunday, April 9.

Eva said the accident was caused because the angkot car was desperate to break through the closed crossing gate.

"The cause of this is because the bars have been closed. The sirens have also sounded but (the city) is still trying to break through," he said.
