Boy killed after falling off bike

JAKARTA (JP): A six-year-old boy was killed on Monday when he
fell off his bicycle and under the wheel of a truck on Jl. Bidan
Aminah in Kalideres, West Jakarta.

According to the victim's relatives, Wahyu was on a bike with
two of his friends, trying to reach the truck to ask for some
money from his uncle, who was driving the truck.

His grandmother, Ma'ani, 50, recalled that Wahyu's friend
riding the bicycle attempted to overtake the truck on the left as
it went over a steep bump in the street, but he lost control of
the bike and they all fell off.

"While his two friends fell in the gutter on the left, Wahyu
fell on the asphalt street," said Ma'ani.

At the same time, the truck driven by his uncle, Missin,
failed to mount the same bump, she said.

The heavy truck slowly rolled back and its tire "ran over
Wahyu's head," Ma'ani said.

According to Ma'ani, Missin is the elder brother of Wahyu's
mother, and works as a driver for a vegetable oil distributor
company at Tanah Abang market in Central Jakarta. (01)
