A man from Karangmojo was found dead following a single-vehicle crash on a slope beside a road in Janglot, Pucanganom, Rongkop, Gunungkidul. He had not returned home since Saturday night (10 October).

“ A man was found dead on a slope beside the road in Janglot, Rongkop, this morning after a single-vehicle crash,” Rongkop Police Chief AKP Subarsana told reporters on Monday (12 October 2026.

Police also found a damaged Yamaha RX King motorcycle with registration number AB 3571 AW. Subarsana said the discovery was made at 5.30am that day. The victim was identified as Dana Mayriza, 34, from Kelor, Karangmojo, Gunungkidul.

“On examination, the victim had injuries to his head and left shoulder,” he said.

Subarsana said Dana had attended a wedding in Tejo, Pucanganom, Rongkop, on Saturday (10 October). He left the event at 8.45pm.

“On Sunday (11 October), the victim’s wife asked his friends if they knew where her husband was,” he said.

The friends said they did not know where Dana was, so they began searching for him.

“The witnesses searched for the victim along the road in Janglot. After searching, they found him on the slope this morning, dead,” he said.

Subarsana said Dana was believed to have been riding from Pucanganom towards Semanu. However, at the Bulak Bogor incline, he apparently lost control of the motorcycle.

“Unable to control his speed, the motorcycle veered left, hit a teak tree and then fell down the slope,” he said.
