Two orphaned after road accident

BOGOR: A couple died instantly after a road sign struck their
minivan, which was traveling near Cibubur on Jagorawi toll road,
while their two children, Maria Lavino, 16, and Alfian, 2.5,
suffered severe injuries and are now being treated at the Harapan
Bunda Hospital.

According to a toll road official, Dadang Sumaryana, the
accident took place at about 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, when Sumarno
Aritono, 47, a resident of Kali Baru, North Jakarta, his wife
Ehayani, 30, and their children were traveling to Bogor.

A speeding truck in front of their car went out of control and
hit the road sign, which later fell on the car, Dadang said.

The truck driver, Asmani, and his assistant, Didik, are being
treated at the UKI Hospital in East Jakarta. -- JP
