JAKARTA A trailer truck hit a public street lighting pole (PJU) and traffic signs on Jalan Cilandak Timur, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, on Thursday, March 6, at 16.41 WIB.
This incident allegedly occurred because the truck's body was caught in a utility cable when it came out of the Cibis area, plus the brakes failed so that the driver lost control.
Trucks Stuck in Cables and Infunctional Brakes Head of South Jakarta Transportation Sub-dept., Bernard Oktavianus Pasaribu, revealed that the truck exited Cibis through the leftmost door and the top was caught in a cable.
"The brakes failed so that the vehicle could not be stopped. As a result, the truck hit two poles, one traffic sign and one public street lighting pole (PJU)," explained Bernard, Thursday, March 6.
