A single traffic accident occurred on Sengkawit Street, Tanjung Selor District, Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan Province.
Bulungan Police Chief Kombes Rofiko Yunanto through Head of Public Relations Iptu Magdalena Lawai revealed that the incident of the gray Daihatsu Terios car with police number KU 1450 AC was driven by a man with the initials AS (52), a resident of Jalan Diponegoro, Tanjung Selor.
"Based on initial information from the police, the incident occurred when the US-driven car was traveling from the direction of the Lemlai Suri Monument to the Cinta Damai Monument. Arriving at the corner of Sengkawit Street, the driver was thought to be sleepy and had a micro sleep," said Magdalena, Wednesday, October 8.
"This condition causes the car to lose control, get out of the lane, hit a tree on the left side of the road, then rolled over and into the ditch," he added.
As a result of the incident, the vehicle suffered severe damage, while the driver suffered minor injuries and shocks. There were no fatalities in this incident.
Officers from the Gakkum Unit of the Bulungan Police Traffic Unit have also arrived at the location to conduct a crime scene investigation, secure vehicles, and help evacuate victims.
"Temporary suspicion that the cause of the accident was a sleepy driver. We urge all road users to rest if they feel tired or sleepy to prevent similar accidents, especially in bend-prone lanes such as Sengkawit Street," he said.
