One killed in toll road car crash

BOGOR (JP): Yusuf, 35, died instantly on Wednesday after being
hit by a speeding car driven by Ahmad Dewanto, 27, who was
allegedly under the influence of illegal drugs, on the Jagorawi
toll road.

Yusuf, a resident of Cimaphar subdistrict, was cutting the
grass beside the toll road when the incident happened.

"We have checked the driver, Ahmad. He's still in shock but
his urine has been sent to the hospital for drug testing," Bogor
City Police Traffic Unit chief Capt. Giri Purwanto said.

Ahmad was suspected to have been under the influence of drugs
as police found a device used for inhaling shabu-shabu (crystal
methamphetamine) in his car.

The incident then led to a minor pileup as a Kijang van
smashed into the car in front of it, when the driver suddenly hit
the brake to avoid Ahmad's automobile.

One person was injured in the collision, but no fatalities
were reported.

"I don't know what happened ... it happened so fast," Sopian,
the injured driver, said at Bogor PMI Hospital. (21/edt)
