Speeding car kills four people in Bogor

BOGOR (JP): Four men died instantly and a woman was left in
critical condition when they were hit by a speeding car in front
of the City Hall here on Saturday evening.

An eyewitness said the driver of a Honda Accord, was
traveling at a high speed in an attempt to overtake a car only to
find another vehicle coming toward him in the opposite direction.

The driver of the car, Michael Evan (17), an East Bogor
resident, swerved abruptly to the right and hit two pedestrians,
killing them both.

The vehicle already out of control, again hit and killed two
other men and knocked another woman unconscious. Iyan, an
eyewitness, believed that Evan must have been drunk before
driving.

Bogor Police rushed the five victims to the local hospital
after receiving reports from security guards at the City Hall and
local residents.

Of the five, only three were identified. The three were Herman
(25), Ammo (28), both from the village of Kemang, Parung district
and Etti (22), from Ciheuleut, North Bogor, who is receiving
treatment in hospital.

The other two victims have not yet been identified. The driver
of the Accord only suffered light injuries.

Jaka, a relative of Ammo, said at the hospital on Sunday that
his brother-in-law used to sell ice at the local market. He left
the market that night never to return.(21)
