TANGERANG - The police have secured the normalization of the Kali Serua project (pimpro) at Villa Bintaro Regency, Pondok Kacang Timur, Pondok Aren, South Tangerang, South Tangerang after the work accident which killed one person.

"We have secured everything from the leadership of this project," said Pondok Aren Police Chief, Kompol Bambang Askar Sodiq in a short message, Friday, October 6.

Bambang suspects that there was an element of negligence by workers at the scene. This was marked by information that there was no personal safety equipment worn while working.

"Nothing, they ignore work safety. Not equipped with supporting equipment," he said.

Bambang said that until now his party had examined a number of witnesses. He did not deny that this case is likely to have other suspects.

"Very big," he concluded.

A work accident occurred at Villa Bintaro Regency Housing, Pondok Aren, South Tangerang, Friday, October 6 at around 10.30 WIB.

The Head of Pondok Aren Police, Kompol Bambang Askar Sodiq, suspected that the cause of the accident was due to the vibration of heavy equipment excavators which resulted in the wall collapsing.

"While we suspect it was caused by a vibration from the excavator that caused the wall above to collapse and hit the workers below," said Bambang in a short message, Friday, October 6.

Bambang explained, actually there were 4 people who were victims of the rubble and one person died. However, when his friend was lifting the victim, he fell so he was injured.

"So at the TKP (the crime scene) there were 4 victims, 1 died and 3 were injured. Meanwhile, there was 1 person who died when the victim died in a pick-up car who was going to take him to the hospital," he said.

"So he only had abrasions, not a larena normalization incident, but because he fell while lifting the victim to the car," he continued.
