JAKARTA - PT Kereta Api Indonesia (PT KAI) Daop 7 Madiun, East Java, regrets that there was still an accident at a level crossing between the 418 Dhoho Commuter Line train, the Kertosono-Kediri relationship with the Daihatsu Sigra 1084 B minibus at km 213+793 jpl 303A, Mengkreng, Kertosono.

"We always remind the public to always be disciplined and vigilant and obey traffic signs when crossing a level," said Public Relations Manager of PT KAI Daop 7 Madiun Kuswardojo, ANTARA, Sunday night, December 1.

He said the accident occurred on Sunday night involving the Daihatsu Sigra AG 1084 B minibus which crashed into the 418 Dhoho commuter line train, the Kertosono-Kediri relation at km 213+793 jpl 303A, Mengkreng, Kertosono.

The route is the border between Nganjuk Regency and Kediri Regency. As a result of the incident, the Commuter Line Doho Train suffered a delay of 21 minutes.

From KAI also immediately checked and the train was able to continue the journey after checking and it was declared safe. Meanwhile, the car experienced a back banger and a broken car window.

The vehicle was immediately pushed over, so that it did not interfere with the flow of traffic at the Mengkreng crossing, which is a provincial route, connecting East Java with Central Java.

He suspects this incident is due to a lack of traffic discipline at level crossings. In fact, from PT KAI, it is also not boring to remind the public to be disciplined and careful when crossing a level of crossing, both maintained and not, so that traffic safety at a level crossing is maintained.

He added that in that incident there were no casualties, but PT KAI Daop 7 Madiun continued to remind people who passed the level crossing to be disciplined and careful and prioritize train travel.

"According to Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation Article 114, road users must prioritize trains and give the main rights to vehicles that first cross the tracks," said Kuswardojo.
