JAKARTA - The accident occurred between the feeder train (feeder)feeders of the Bandung-Padalarang connection with cars at a level crossing that was not maintained in Cilame Village, Ngamprah District, West Bandung Regency, West Java, Thursday, December 14. Two people died and four others were seriously injured.

The Head of Padalarang Police, Kompol Darwan, confirmed that the incident began when the feeder train was traveling at around 12:43 WIB. At the same time, there was also a car that was about to pass.

"Yes (it is)," said Darmawan in West Bandung Regency, Thursday, December 14, confiscated by Antara.

Darwan said there were six people who were victims of the incident. Of the six people, two died while four others were injured and have been rushed to the hospital.

"For the data, the victims have been taken to the hospital. There were six victims, two of whom died, while four were still alive being taken to the hospital," he said.

Meanwhile, the Public Relations Manager of Daop 2 Bandung Ayep Hanafi appealed to road users to be more orderly and obey the rules, especially those stated in Law 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation.

"PT KAI Daop 2 Bandung invites all road users to jointly obey the existing signs and be more vigilant when crossing a railroad crossing," he said.

Ayep said drivers are obliged to ensure that their vehicles can pass through a level crossing and must also ensure that their vehicles leave a level crossing if the vehicle engine suddenly dies at a level crossing.

"This must be obeyed so that the number of accidents and victims can be suppressed, considering that currently PT KAI has also increased the acceleration of the travel time of several train trips," he said.
