BANDAR LAMPUNG - The Bandarlampung Public Works Agency (PU) admitted that the box from the public street lighting car (PJU) used to repair the flyover light (flyover) in the Balok River was broken and caused two workers to fall. "This incident was not caused by an electric flow, but because of the broken PJU car box used to sit for workers while repairing the lights on the flyover," said Head of PJU Division of the Bandarlampung City Public Works Agency, Basuni Ahyar in Bandarlampung, as reported by Antara, Monday, July 29. He explained the incident when the two were changing the lights on the flyover, which then occurred in a disaster where the car box sat in a broken bolt. "The two people who fell were one employee at the Public Works Service and the other was a child who was practicing field work (PKL) at the Public Works Service," he said. The two victims who fell were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, but unfortunately one of them could not be saved by his life. "We are sorry for this incident. Then one of them died, namely an employee of the Public Works Service, while the street vendor child who took part in the incident was conscious and was scheduled to undergo surgery," he said. For information, two workers who were repairing the street lights fell from a height while repairing the street lights on the Kali Balok flyover, on Tuesday (23/7).

This incident allegedly occurred due to the broken box of a Public Street Lighting car (PJU) or a ladder car used by the two workers.
