JAKARTA - A motorcyclist with the initials AD suffered serious injuries after being hit by a fallen tree on Jalan Pesanggrahan, Meruya, Kembangan, West Jakarta, on Friday at around 11.00 WIB. The victim was immediately rushed to the hospital due to serious head injuries.
Agit (23), a witness who was at the location, said that a large tree on the side of the road, precisely opposite SMA Negeri 112, suddenly fell.
"The river continues to immediately dredge up the car and the motorbike," said Agit, who works as a technician at a motorcycle repair shop near the scene.
According to Agit, the motorcyclist immediately lay down due to a hard impact and was seen with severe head injuries.
"What I saw was hit by a motorbike, so the driver just fell," he said.
The large fallen tree is thought to have died because it looked dry and it was tilted towards the road. "Indeed, the tree is dry, like a dead tree," added Agit.
Apart from the victim of a motorcyclist, a car driven by Wanto (40) was also affected by this incident. Wanto, who was passing from South Jakarta, admitted that he was taking his boss's orders when the tree fell suddenly.

In contrast to the condition of the car that was heavily damaged, the victim's motorbike only suffered minor damage. However, the motorcyclist suffered serious head injuries and was immediately rushed to the hospital by ambulance.
"When he was taken to the hospital by ambulance, the victim was still breathing. But I don't know what his condition is now," said Wanto.
