Police Confirm No Casualties in Airport Train-Truck Collision at Poris

Police have confirmed there were no casualties in an accident involving a trailer truck struck by the Soekarno-Hatta Airport train as it passed through a level crossing at Poris Station, Batuceper, Tangerang City. Evacuation efforts are still under way.

“As of now there have been zero fatalities, only material losses, and we are still in the process of further investigation,” Tangerang City Metro Police Chief Commissioner Raden Muhammad Jauhari told reporters on Friday (20/2/2026).

Jauhari said the truck was positioned across the tracks, obstructing the railway line. Evacuation of both the train and the trailer truck involved in the accident is still ongoing.

“This is the electrified rail line, and the container body is currently in a position blocking the tracks. So it is being evacuated and removed so that the rail line can return to normal operations,” he explained.

As a result of the accident, traffic around Poris Station experienced severe congestion. The Tangerang City Metro Police have implemented traffic management measures around the scene.

The following traffic diversion routes have been put in place:

• From Jakarta (Jl. Daan Mogot) towards Cipondoh: diverted at the Ampera T-junction, directed via Jl. Jenderal Sudirman towards Jl. KH Hasyim Ashari.
• From Cipondoh (Jl. KH Hasyim Ashari) towards Daan Mogot: diverted via Jl. Benteng Betawi towards Jl. Jenderal Sudirman.
• From Jl. Benteng Betawi towards Jakarta: diverted via Jl. KH Hasyim Ashari – Gondrong traffic lights – Jl. H. Mansyur – Jl. KH Ahmad Dahlan.

Truck Dragged 100 Metres

Commissioner Raden Muhammad Jauhari explained that the accident occurred at approximately 06.05 local time that morning. It began when the trailer truck was travelling from the direction of Cipondoh towards Daan Mogot.

“As the railway crossing barrier was activated, the vehicle entered the rail crossing. The truck cab had already cleared the tracks, but the container body was still on the crossing,” Jauhari said in his statement to reporters on Friday.

Jauhari said the incident resulted in the trailer truck being dragged some distance from its initial position at the crossing.

“It was dragged approximately 100 metres from the railway crossing,” he added.
