An elderly woman identified as ZN, 70, died at the scene after the motorcycle taxi she was travelling on was struck by a trailer truck on Jalan Raya Pelabuhan, Koja, North Jakarta (Jakarta Utara). Police said the victim was run over by the left front wheel of the truck.

“Ms ZN sustained injuries to her torso and legs and died at the scene. The body was subsequently sent to RSCM,” said AKP Edy Wibowo, head of the Laka Lantas (Gakkum) unit of the Jakarta North Metro Police, in a statement on Saturday, 7 March 2026.
