Accident claims candidate's eye

SURABAYA: Bad luck struck Muhammad Subhan, a legislative
candidate with the National Awakening Party (PKB) for the
Trenggalek regency council, leaving him with only one eye.

The accident occurred when Muhammad, who was a riding
motorcycle on Friday, was on his way to a relative's house in
Trenggalek. As he sped along Jl. Soekarno-Hatta in Trenggalek, a
bamboo pole with a campaign flag on it, suddenly fell and impaled
Muhammad's left eye. He fell from his motorcycle with the bamboo
still stuck in his eye.

He was rushed to Soetomo Hospital in Surabaya, and a doctor
there stated astutely deduced that he would probably lose the
eye. -- JP
