One killed in three-vehicle pileup<\/p>\n
TANGERANG: One man was killed and six others were injured in a
\nthree-vehicle pileup on the Jakarta-Merak toll road in Serpong,
\nTangerang, at 5 a.m. on Friday.<\/p>\n
Truck driver Syamsul Ichwan, 32, who was transporting oranges
\nfrom Deli Serdang, North Sumatra to Jakarta, died as a result of
\nhis injuries on the way to Al-Qadar Hospital in Karawaci. The
\nother six are in hospital receiving treatment.<\/p>\n
It took officers three hours to extract Ichwan, a resident of
\nPondok Rejo village, Deli Serdang, from the truck as he was
\npinned between the dashboard and the seat. Morning rush hour
\ntraffic also delayed transporting him to the hospital.<\/p>\n
The accident backed up traffic heading toward Jakarta for five
\nkilometers, prompting PT Jasa Marga, the toll road management
\ncompany, to close the Bitung toll gate in the direction of Merak
\nuntil 9 a.m.<\/p>\n
The pileup involved three trucks, including the one driven by
\nSyamsul, said M. Nur, a staff member of PT Jasa Marga. --JP<\/p>",
