JAKARTA - The West Java Regional Police (Polda) revealed that a series of collisions on the Cipularang Kilometer 92 Toll Road, Purwakarta Regency were allegedly triggered by a heavy truck that had failed brakes and crashed into more than five vehicles in front of it.
"The brakes failed because they were loaded quite a lot, quite heavy, so they hit the vehicle in front of them," said Head of Public Relations of the West Java Police, Kombes Jules Abraham Abast, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, November 11.
The West Java Regional Police deployed about 10 personnel to carry out handling at the scene. They consist of officers from the Korlantas Polri, PJR Polda Jabar, and personnel from the Satlantas Purwakarta.
"We have mobilized 10 personnel to help evacuate the victims and the vehicles involved," he said.
Until now, he said, the exact number of vehicles involved and accident victims is still being collected.
The police team is also still processing the crime scene (TKP) to identify the number of vehicles and the exact cause of the accident.
In addition, in order to reduce congestion that occurred around the accident site, the West Java Police carried out traffic engineering by diverting vehicles out at the Cikamining Toll Exit.
"The vehicle was directed through an arterial route in Purwakarta, then re-entered the toll road through the Sadang Toll Gate," he said.
