BOGOR: A family of three -- Erwin Riyanto, 34, his wife Nani, 26, and their daughter Fani, 6 -- were killed Tuesday in a traffic accident on Narogong road, Gunung Putri subdistrict, Bogor regency. The victims were residents of North Cikarang subsdistrict in Bekasi.

First Insp. Surianto, head of Bogor Police's traffic accidents unit, said Erwin was attempting to overtake a truck in front of him when the accident occurred. A public transportation minivan in the opposite lane hit Erwin's motorcycle, which was run over by the truck.

Erwin's brother Hendra, 28, said the family had gone to Puncak with Erwin's brothers-in-law, who were also riding a motorcycle.

"There were three families, and Erwin was the leader of the convoy," Hendra said. --JP
