Two more die on toll road
BEKASI, West Java (JP): The driver and a passenger of a Toyota
Kijang van died at 3:00 a.m. yesterday when the van tipped over
on the Cikampek-Jakarta toll road in Bekasi Timur.
A local police officer said a blow-out is believed to have
caused the accident.
Police records say the van was carrying a family of six from
Bukit Duri, South Jakarta. They were returning from the wedding
of a relative in Yogyakarta.
The 30-year-old driver, Betan Ismail, and eight-year-old Nia
M. Lintonia died. The father, Budiman, the mother, Rulini, and
two of their other children, Galih and Diah, are in hospital with
serious injuries.
This is the second fatal crash on the Cikampek-Jakarta
tollroad in four days. Last Saturday a similar accident claimed
three lives and seriously injured eight others.
