Man dies from speeding motorbike

JAKARTA (JP): A man died after being hit by a speeding
motorbike on Jl. Raya Bogor, East Jakarta, which was allegedly
driven by a member of the military, an official said on Saturday.

One of the security personnel at the nearby depot of PT
Mayasari Bhakti Bus, who refused to be named, said the victim,
identified as Maman, 38, was crossing the street in front of the
depot on Saturday morning, when suddenly a speeding motorbike
struck him.

"Both Maman and the motorbike driver suffered injuries to
their heads after being thrown to the street," he told reporters.

Local residents, who saw the incident, beat the motorbike
driver. Realizing that he was a member of the Indonesian Air
Force, the driver was taken to the Jakarta Military Police
Headquarters in Guntur area, South Jakarta, the witness said.

Maman died a few hours later from severe head injuries. (06)
