Bus Accident

At least five people were injured
when a tourist bus rolled and crashed

while ascending a steep section of Jl. Raya Puncak in Bogor regency.

The bus was carrying a group of elementary students from SDN Cisoka.

The bus was carrying them to the Taman Wisata Matahari waterpark

Wednesday was May 1, the public Labor Day holiday.

The accident took place at about 12 noon as the bus was heading away from Jakarta.

“The bus [overturned] as
it was negotiating the Selarong slope.

We suspect it could not climb and

its brakes did not work.

On the ascending road, the bus moved backwards uncontrollably and

the driver twisted the steering wheel to the right, causing the bus to roll over.

The five injured people were all taken to the Ciawi regional hospital for immediate medical treatment. No fatalities were reported.

Police apprehended the driver for questioning and seized the bus to examine it.
