Taufik's group hit in multiple collision

MEDAN, North Sumatra: Four cars belonging to presidential husband Taufiq Kiemas' traveling entourage were in a multiple collision on Friday, leaving some drivers and passengers with minor injuries.

The collision occurred when a driver of a sedan in the group suddenly braked to avoid a pedicab on a crossroads. Three cars behind the sedan were unable to stop in time, leaving some in the cars slightly injured.

Taufik, the husband of President Megawati Soekarnoputri, who was on his way back to Medan from the Brastagi tourist resort, escaped injury, as his car was further in front of the group. -- JP
