Allegedly Sparse Signage, Motorcyclist Falls into Excavation in Condet

JAKARTA — A motorcyclist fell into a hole believed to be an excavation owned by PAM Jaya on Jalan Raya Batu Ampar, Condet, Kramat Jati, East Jakarta.

Video uploaded by the Instagram account @lintascondetupdate shows several residents attempting to evacuate the motorcycle that had fallen into the hole.

At the scene, several water barriers were visible. However, no other project coverings were seen besides these barriers.

It is suspected the rider fell because there was no guard on duty and there were few warning signs in the excavation area.

‘In light of the situation, we have coordinated with Polsek Kramat Jati, Satpel Kecamatan Kramat Jati and Satpol PP to assist with security during busy hours,’ Siregar said in a written statement on Wednesday, 4 March 2026.

Siregar added that they were also coordinating with PAM Jaya to increase signage at the project site.

‘PAM Jaya has agreed to add signage. We ask that it be installed by Thursday at the latest so that residents passing by at night can stay vigilant,’ Siregar said.

Meanwhile, PAM Jaya Senior Manager Corporate & Customer Communication, Gatra Vaganza, acknowledged that the excavation is a PAM Jaya project.

Gatra said he had coordinated with the contractor regarding the incident, including adding safety signage.

‘So, really, the incident happened around ten days ago, which is why I am asking the contractor to prepare a chronology,’ he explained.
