TANGERANG A dirt truck overturned on Jalan Salembaran Jati, Kosambi, Tangerang Regency, on Tuesday night, April 22, 2025. The accident, which was recorded on video and went viral on social media, killed one person and caused damage to four motorcycles.

The Tangerang City Metro Police Chief, Kombes Pol Zain Dwi Nugroho, confirmed the unfortunate incident.

"One victim died at the scene," said Zain, Wednesday, April 23.

The accident occurred while the traffic conditions on the road were congested. The victim who was around the location did not have time to escape when the truck rolled over.

In a number of videos circulating, the victim's condition was very pathetic. Body parts such as the head, thighs, and legs appear to be pinned under the overturned body of the truck.

Apart from the fatalities, four motorbikes were also badly damaged by being hit by a truck.

"Four motorcycles were damaged as a result of the accident," added Zain.

Zain explained that the accident was allegedly caused by the rear tire of the truck that entered the road. It makes the truck swerve and eventually rolls over to the side of the road, hitting the driver who is nearby.

"The back tire of the truck goes into a hole causing the vehicle to tilt and roll over, hitting the motorcycle and victim," he explained.

Currently, the police are still conducting further investigations to reveal the details of the cause of the accident and ensure legal responsibility from the truck driver.
