Angry Pamulang residents burn crane<\/p>\n
West Pamulang, Tangerang, residents set a crane owned by a
\nhousing developer on fire after a truck driver hit and killed a
\nthree-year-old boy on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\"The people were apparently angry as they couldn't catch the
\ntruck driver and then burned the crane instead,\" a police officer
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Some area residents said the crane caught fire due to a short
\ncircuit, but Tres, an employee of the company constructing the
\nhousing project, said this was not likely.<\/p>\n
The accident which killed Daryanto took place at the site of
\nthe housing project, which is reportedly being constructed by the
\ndeveloper of the nearby Villa Pamulang Mas housing complex.<\/p>\n
\"Trucks have been working here for about a month, and the
\nchildren love to see the trucks coming and going ,\" an area
\nresident said.<\/p>\n
The truck driver, identified as Murdan, is being held by the
\nPamulang police.<\/p>\n
Murdan told The Jakarta Post that he did not notice the boy
\nwho was crushed under one of the right wheels because he was
\nconcentrating on the children jumping up on the truck from the
\nleft side.<\/p>\n
\"I stopped when I saw lots of children climbing (onto the
\ntruck) from my left, then I started again and the boy was
\nsuddenly under the wheel,\" Murdan said. (anr)<\/p>",
