Two die in road accident

JAKARTA: Two bus passengers died and five others were injured
in an accident at kilometer 50 of the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road
in Klari, Karawang, West Java, early on Tuesday morning.

The bodies of Gianto, 31, a resident of Merluang district,
Jambi province, and his four-year-old son Nofian were brought to
the Cikampek Hospital.

"The driver of the Antar Lintas Sumatra (ALS) bus, Aswar,
reportedly fled after asking our permission to make some calls
from the ALS depot in Cikampek," an officer was quoted as saying
by Antara.

According to witnesses, the bus, which was traveling from
Yogyakarta to Medan, the capital of North Sumatra province, was
speeding when the driver apparently lost control. They said the
bus skidded off the road and flipped over. -- Antara
