BANDUNG - Acting Governor of West Java, Bey T Machmudin, responded to frequent traffic accidents on the Cipularang Toll Road. Realizing road conditions that often trigger incidents, Bey plans to coordinate with the Ministry of Public Works (Kemen PU) and Jasa Marga to find prevention solutions in the future.

"I have also communicated with the Ministry of Public Works with Jasa Marga on how to mitigate in the future," said Bey when visiting accident victims at the Emergency Installation (IGD) of Radjak Hospital, Purwakarta, West Java, Monday 11 November.

According to Bey, accidents on the Cipularang Toll Road often occur at kilometers 90 to 100. Apart from the declining roads, repairs at a number of road points are also considered to be a factor causing the incident.

"Actually, accidents have often occurred between km 90 to 100, right, because the derivatives have also decreased, but there are also road repairs," explained Bey.

He also appealed to vehicle owners, especially heavy vehicles, to pay more attention to the condition of their vehicles before crossing the Cipularang Toll Road. Bey emphasized the importance of vehicle feasibility testing so that similar incidents can be avoided.

"We ask the owner of the vehicle, especially the large vehicle, to ensure that the vehicle is healthy, don't forget to test the vehicle and the driver should understand the condition of the vehicle, so if it's not fit, don't force it," he added.

At the end of his statement, Bey hoped that the accident that occurred this time would be the last on the Cipularang Toll Road. "Hopefully this is the last one," concluded Bey.
