JAKARTA - The Mitsububshi Pajero driver with the initials J (23) who caused the fatal accident on Jalan MT Haryono, Pancoran, South Jakarta, underwent a urine test.

Head of Laka Ditlantas Polda Metro Jaya Kompol Edy Purwanto said the urine test was to determine if the driver was driving sleepy, conscious or otherwise.

"We did a urine test last night at Kramat Jati Hospital, (East Jakarta), but the results are still not there," said Edy to reporters in South Jakarta, Thursday, May 26.

Edy said that for now J is still under investigation by the Polda Metro Jaya investigators. Police have also conducted a crime scene (TKP). For a while, Edy suspected that the Pajero driver was not traveling because of the high speed.

"Currently we are still in the stage of examining suspected suspects, continuing to examine witnesses and also processing crime scenes. So for the time being we have not concluded," he said.

"(But for) the temporary assumption is that the high speed is not, because the traffic conditions are busy, it is suspected that it is not at high speed," he continued

The accident started when a Mitsubishi Pajero car passed from Cawang to Pancoran. "Initially the Pajero stopped at a position 200 meters from behind here (in front of the Green Tower)," said Kokoy.

After that, the taxi car that Kokoy was traveling in was suddenly rammed from behind by the Pajero.

"Not long after that there was a scream, I didn't know the motorbikes were hit by the Pajero driver. Not long after, my car was rammed into," he continued.

He added, as a result of the accident, the traffic flow on Jalan MT Haryono was jammed. "Traffic conditions were congested, the Pajero was fast. The motorbikes were crushed by my car too, one motorbike was crushed, many were injured and some died," he concluded.
