JAKARTA - The West Jakarta Police Traffic Unit has named the Supreme Court, the driver of the car that hit a resident on the Layang Dalam Kota Toll Road, Jelambar, Grogol Petamburan, West Jakarta, and fell into the Grogol River as a suspect.

"The Supreme Court driver has been named a suspect," said Head of the Traffic Accident Unit (Laka Lalu) for the West Jakarta Region AKP Hartono, Monday, September 12.

Hartono said the determination of the suspect was carried out after the police examined the Supreme Court and confiscated the car used.

From the results of the police investigation, it was revealed that the Supreme Court was driving a car in a heavy rain condition on the shoulder of the toll road.

"At that time he was driving his car on the shoulder of the road so that he hit the victim who was stopped at that time to repair the hood of his front car," Hartono said.

The Supreme Court was charged with Article 310 paragraph 4 of Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation with a threat of 6 years in prison or a maximum fine of IDR 12 million.

Previously, a man with the initials W (64) fell from the Inner City Toll Road in Jelambar, Grogol Petamburan, West Jakarta, after his car was hit by another vehicle on Friday, September 9.

At that time, the elderly man was repairing a damaged vehicle on the In-City Toll Road slow lane in a heavy rain condition.

"He is working on the car on the edge of the In-City Toll Road slow," said one of the victim's family, Wawak in Jakarta.
