Two students die in road accident

JAKARTA: Two students died and another was seriously injured
early on Sunday after a van they were riding in spun out on the
Tangerang toll road, hitting the traffic barrier and rolling.

Police have not yet revealed the three young men's names. A
17-year-old resident of Karawaci and a 16-year-old from the Perum
housing complex in Tangerang died on the spot, while the driver a
17-year-old, address unknown, was taken to a nearby hospital with
serious injuries.

City police spokesman Sr. Comr. I Ketut Untung Yoga Ana said
on Monday that police were still questioning witnesses to find
out the cause of the accident.

He said that the van, which was traveling at high speed from
Jakarta to Tangerang, went out of control when it exited through
the Lippo Karawaci gate.

"We are still investigating the case. The driver might have
been sleepy or under the influence of drugs. We will check if
(he) was under the influence," Ketut said. --JP
