Four killed in Sragen car crash

SRAGEN, Central Java: Four people died in a traffic accident
on the main road of Bener village in Ngrampel district of Sragen
regency on Monday afternoon.

The incident occurred when two motorbikes carrying the four
collided due to slippery road conditions.

A speeding sedan struck the motorists from behind as the
driver, Sudarmaji, 40, was unable to control the wheel.

"The road was very slippery after the rain. The driver could
not avoid the motorbikes. The road is one of those areas prone to
accidents," said Sragen Police chief Lt. Col. Siswaluyo.

The four people were rushed to a nearby hospital, but later
died from injuries. They were identified as Tarno, 43, his wife
Suminah, 38, Suparno, 20, and Sarju, 20. (har/edt)
