JAKARTA Dozens of nails scattered at the Gatot Subroto Flyover, Tebet, South Jakarta (Jaksel), Wednesday, October 23, 2024. A number of volunteers from online motorcycle taxis (ojol) are willing to clean up so that motorized vehicle users do not become victims.

The act of clearing nails at the Gatot Subroto Flyover was caught on video and went viral on social media. In the video, a number of motorists can be seen complaining that many nail mines are scattered on the road.

"Be careful above the Kuningan Flyover towards Pancoran, there are many nail mines spread, umbrella frames," the appeal was called for through posts on social media.

The @DaengDale account suspects that the perpetrator is a tire patcher. He is sure based on previous cases.

The @RelawanRanjaupaku account mentions that many cars and motorbikes were hit by the nail mines.

"Every day there are many car tires and motorbikes, they are affected by the distribution of mines in the context of umbrellas, mas. Danger", he said.

In fact, many victims are from the online motorcycle taxi (Ojol). No wonder, because the victim daily crosses public roads that are prone to nail mines.

"This is a victim of the distribution of mines to pay, Grab's brother, from Cikarang carrying packages through a route prone to the spread of mines", he said.

Andi (29) also expressed the same complaint. He claimed to have been a victim of nail mines. In fact, only for a short time, there were other vehicles that were also victims.

"When I was at the Pancoran Flyover, I got it. Then it wasn't long before there was another vehicle," Andi said when met at the location, Wednesday, October 23.

Andi suspects that the perpetrators of spreading nail mines are tire repairmen who are not far from the flyover. But when Andi confirmed it, the tire repairman denied it.

"It's not me, mas, the culprit," said Andi, imitating the words of the tire repairman.

"Yes, sir. So he's not that good," he said.

Andi ensured that apart from the nails found, there were mines made of umbrella frame iron.

"The form is rich in umbrella iron. It's not too big," he said
