JAKARTA - A traffic accident involving three vehicles occurred on the Gringsing pantura road, Batang Regency, Central Java, which resulted in the road at the scene being blocked on Friday afternoon.
Head of the Batang Police AKBP Veronika said the police evacuated the three vehicles involved in the consecutive accidents so that the flow of vehicle traffic could return smoothly.
"We are still carrying out the evacuation and security process at the location. This accident did not cause any casualties, but the losses are estimated to be around IDR 20 million," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Friday, January 30.
The consecutive accident involving three vehicles was allegedly triggered by a trailer truck with the police number G 1336 L traveling from west (Jakarta) to east (Semarang) experiencing a breakdown in the braking system.
Due to the malfunctioning brakes, he said, the tronton truck driven by Aris Mudiyono (41) resident of Tegal Regency hit the back of a Daihatsu Sigra with the police number G 1336 L driven by Supriyanto (37), resident of Reban, Batang Regency who was speeding in front of him.
"The hard blow caused the minibus to be pushed to the left of the road," he said.
He, accompanied by Head of the Traffic Unit AKP Eka Hendra Ardiansyah, said that after hitting the Daihatsu Sigra car, the truck driver still could not control his vehicle so he hit a trailer truck with the number H-8912-OH which was in front of him.
This second collision resulted in a trailer truck driven by Faizin (45), a resident of Kendal Regency, being overturned on the road, resulting in traffic congestion.
"Three vehicles suffered heavy damage due to the collision. For the complete chronology, it is still under investigation," he said.
