Three People Injured Due To Giant Billboard Collapsed In Bandung During Heavy Rain

Head of Bandung Polrestabes Satlantas Kompol Eko Iskamdar said the three people were victims because they were hit by billboards that collapsed during heavy rains in the area at around 13.00 WIB.

"This happened to two motorbikes, one four-wheeled vehicle," said Eko in Bandung, West Java, Saturday, March 25, quoted by Antara.

At the time of the incident, according to him, only the three vehicles passed at the location. As for the time, according to Eko, the traffic conditions were quite smooth and there was no congestion.

"Because this is also the fasting month that is observed not as busy as usual, but there was a coincidence that the vehicle passed when the billboard board collapsed," said Eko.

The remaining material for the collapsed billboards is now being cleaned by officers from the Bandung City Fire and Disaster Management Service (Diskar PB) and other officers.

The collapse of billboards and the material cleaning process had caused traffic flow on Jalan Soekarno Hatta to experience congestion, especially for vehicles from the east leading west.
