BOGOR: A bus hit a motorcycle carrying a family of four in
\nCileungsi, Ciawi, Bogor, on Sunday night, killing the parents and
\ntheir son, while leaving the daughter in a critical condition.<\/p>\n
The accident took place at about 9:30 p.m., when a Merdeka bus
\non the Bandung-Jakarta route hit the motorcycle ridden by Udin,
\n35, a resident of East Bekasi, according to Adj. Comr. Ipik
\nKusuma of the Bogor police traffic accident unit.<\/p>\n
Udin, his wife, Nami, 25, and their nine-year-old son, Iim,
\nwere killed instantly. Their four-year-old daughter, Juli, was
\nseriously injured.<\/p>\n
An employee the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) hospital, told
\nAntara that as of 1:30 p.m. on Monday, no one had come to claim
\nthe bodies. He said that Juli was hospitalized in Jonggol Public
\nHealth Center and not in the PMI hospital.<\/p>\n
The bus driver, Ateng, 54, was being held by Bogor police for
\nalleged negligence.<\/p>\n
It is common practice here to see entire families riding on
\nthe back of a motorcycle, apparently unaware of the danger in
\nwhich they place themselves, especially as children are often not
\nprovided with a crash helmet. --JP<\/p>",
