PADANG - A passenger bus from Medan City to Jambi City hit a flyover in Padang Panjang City, West Sumatra. The accident resulted in 17 people being injured.

The Head of Public Relations of the West Sumatra Police, Kombes Satake Bayu, said the incident occurred at Jalan Soekarno Hatta Simpang Lapan, Padang Panjang City at around 06.00 WIB.

He said the road conditions are quite good with good asphalt with wide roads and straight lanes. In addition, the weather at that time was sunny and the view was unobstructed.

"The road is not equipped with road markings," he said, quoted by Antara, Sunday, January 30.

The bus belonging to PT Sipirok Nauli Nopol BB 7626 LH driven by Manalu came from the direction of Bukittinggi to the City of Padang until the driver did not know the route and entered the wrong route because the road can only be passed by vehicles with a maximum height of 2.2 meters.

The driver who came at high speed directly hit the flyover and damaged the bus. In addition, the driver and 17 other passengers suffered injuries.

"There were no fatalities, but the passengers suffered injuries due to the hard impact which caused the top of the car to be missing," he said.
