The Traffic Unit (Satlantas) of the Cirebon Police has named a\nmineral water truck driver, identified by the initials AS, as a suspect\nin the accident on the Gronggong incline along the Cirebon-Kuningan road\nin Cirebon Regency, West Java, which killed three people.<\/p>\n
Head of the Cirebon Police Satlantas AKP Yudha Satyo Rahardjo said\nthe suspect was named after investigators completed their inquiry and\ninvestigation into the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe truck driver with the initials AS in the accident on the\nGronggong incline has been named a suspect,\u201d Yudha said in Cirebon on\nFriday, 24 July 2026.<\/p>\n
He said the suspect was charged under Article 310 paragraph (4) of\nLaw Number 22 of 2009 on Road Traffic and Transport for alleged\nnegligence causing the death of others.<\/p>\n
According to him, investigators are still completing the case file\nand examining a number of factors believed to be related to the cause of\nthe accident for the purposes of the legal process.<\/p>\n
Yudha said the initial technical inspection carried out by the\nCirebon Regency Transportation Office (Dishub) together with the Cirebon\nPolice Satlantas had not yet been able to confirm suspected brake\nfailure as the cause of the accident.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Diyanto, Functional Policy Analyst for Motor Vehicle\nTesting at the Cirebon Regency Dishub, said the inspection found that\nthe vehicle\u2019s air tank was used simultaneously for both the braking\nsystem and the horn.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, the results of that inspection are not yet sufficient to\nconclude the main cause of the accident, so further examination is\nneeded, including matching the vehicle\u2019s technical condition with the\ndriver\u2019s testimony,\u201d said Diyanto.<\/p>\n
He explained that several of the truck\u2019s tyres were no longer\nroadworthy, as the tyre wires were visible. Nevertheless, the vehicle\u2019s\nsteering system was still functioning normally.<\/p>\n
Diyanto added that, based on the crime scene reconstruction, the\ndriver admitted the truck began to lose control about 120 metres before\ncrashing into a food stall on the Cirebon-Kuningan main road in Ciperna\nvillage, Talun subdistrict.<\/p>\n
Based on the information gathered, the accident on 13 July 2026\nresulted in the deaths of EAK, his wife NIP, and their seven-month-old\nbaby.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the couple\u2019s daughter was the only member of the family to\nsurvive. She suffered serious injuries and is still recovering.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/truck-driver-who-crashed-into-stall-in-cirebon-killing-three-named-suspect-1784893947", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
