JAKARTA - A total of three buses and one minibus were involved in a traffic accident at KM28 of the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road, causing traffic jams for going home from West Cikarang, Bekasi Regency to Karawang.
"The police are handling a traffic accident involving three bus vehicles and one minibus on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road KM 28 Cikarang Barat," Antara quoted Antara from the TMC Polda Metro Jaya Twitter account, Wednesday, April 27.
The incident reportedly took place around 23.00 WIB and is being handled by police officers under the command of the Traffic Director of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Pol Sambodo Purnomo at the scene.
From the photo upload, it appears that one bus unit involved in an accident from the Sumber Jaya Otobus Company (PO) with police number Z 7531 TB with the Kawali-Depok route is being handled by police officers.
Contacted separately, Jasa Marga's Central Communications Picket Officer, Hary, confirmed the incident. But it has not been confirmed whether the passenger bus was a victim or not.
"It is true that there is an accident handling at KM28 Jakarta Cikampek towards Cikampek and now it has been completed," he said.
As a result of the incident, the officer advised toll users to take an alternative route to the Kalimalang arterial road along the Pantura connecting route and be able to re-access the toll road at KM54 Karawang Timur.
Hary said the accident and the evacuation of vehicles caused traffic jams from West Cikarang to the Cikarang Utama Toll Gate. The high volume of vehicles also triggers other traffic jams at KM40 until it comes to West Karawang.
Meanwhile, Kombes Pol Sambodo who was contacted by telephone has not yet responded to the incident.
