Wiranto team rear ended

SURABAYA: A group of people, riding in the entourage of vice presidential candidate Salahuddin Wahid, was involved in a multi- car pileup in Bangil district, Pasuruan regency, East Java, on Wednesday evening.

No injuries were reported however, but at least seven of the cars carrying in the entourage were damaged, some seriously.

Romdon and Syaiful, both members of the Wiranto-Salahuddin campaign team, said the crash occurred when the entourage was returning from Probolinggo regency to Surabaya, escorted by two police cars.

"One car was running too far in front and the others were trying to catch up," Romdon said.

Upon reaching Bangil, a van in the front of the chase pack suddenly hit the brakes, causing the vehicles behind it to slam into one another. --JP
