Accident at zebra crossing

Accident at zebra crossing

From Kompas

A pedestrian was hit by a car at a zebra crossing in front of the National Museum on Jl. Medan Merdeka Barat, Central Jakarta on Oct. 13, 1994 at about 7 p.m.

The driver of the car had to swerve when the car in front unexpectedly came to a halt at a red light. The car careened onto the pavement and hit a person just behind me. The poor pedestrian had to be taken to hospital with severe injuries.

This particular section of the road is prone to accidents, because drivers tend to go so fast that they don't have enough time to break when the traffic light turns red.

I suggest that an overpass be built because many people cross this road daily.
