"Truck Driver Sandwiched" Citizens' Testimony about Bumiayu Accident

KanalUtama. Successive accidents involving trucks with a number of vehicles took place in Bumiayu, Central Java, Monday afternoon. This accident left four people dead and several others injured.
One eyewitness, Arif Rahman Hakim (29) said that the truck driver had been caught and could not get out. When the residents evacuated, the driver suffered a number of injuries on his body.


"I was able to help other residents and evacuate the driver who had been stuck. The driver is still alive," Arif told CNNIndonesia.com.
Currently the truck driver has been taken to the hospital with other injured victims. Moreover, this accident occurred right in front of the Muhammadiyah Bumiayu General Hospital, Jalan Raya Bumiayu, Jatisawit Village, Brebes.

Arif added that the incident had not yet arrived at the police officer. Residents around the location who took the initiative directly helped the victims.

He suspected that the truck had lost control due to brake failure, so it hit a number of cars and motorbikes.

"This truck came from the south, Purwokerto headed north, Brebes," he said.

Another witness, Muhammad Nur Faizi, also said that the truck might experience brakes and then hit another vehicle. This truck also hit the front of Muhammadiyah Bumiayu Hospital.

Faizi said, four-wheeled vehicles involved in the accident were around 5 units, while two wheels were around 10 units.

"But exactly how many vehicles I don't know," said Faizi, a student at one of the universities in Bumiayu.

At present the dead and injured victims have been evacuated and taken to the hospital.

"From the police, while four people died, eight were injured," he said.

Until now, police officers from the Satebantas Brebes Regional police station were on location to evacuate the vehicles involved in this accident.
