JAKARTA - Two loaded trucks were involved in an accident that resulted in a wreck on the JORR Cakung Toll Road, precisely at KM 51, Cakung District, East Jakarta, Tuesday, November 12.

The accident was caused by the driver of the loaded trailer truck allegedly falling asleep, then hitting a project truck filled with materials that was parked on the side of the toll road.

As a result of the accident, the two trucks were dragged and hit the toll road divider wall. The accident was caused by the trailer truck driver experiencing 'out of control' or swerving.

"I was resting when I suddenly got hit from behind, the truck driver was sleepy," said Ade, an eyewitness to the incident.

According to Ade, the truck that was hit was a project truck that was in the middle of repairing the wall.

Two passengers of the project truck were thrown and immediately rushed to the hospital using an ambulance.

"There are victims. Two victims, one injured in the leg and one injured in the head. Thank God there were no fatalities," he said.

Andi said, this accident occurred when the container truck coming from Bintara Bekasi towards Rorotan, suddenly swerved to the left and hit the toll road barrier wall project truck.

"The two victims who were on the project truck fell and slammed. The victims are workers from the construction of the wall project," he said.

Meanwhile, the container truck driver was immediately secured by police officers who arrived at the location. This accident case is now being handled by Induk Jaya 3 PKR Ditlantas Polda Metro Jaya Officers.
