A car crashed into the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle fountain on Wednesday, the second vehicle to do so this month, police say.
The incident, involving a Toyota Corolla sedan, took place at around 3 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
The previous collision had involved a Toyota Avanza SUV.
According to Jakarta Police records, there have been at least five similar accidents involving the traffic circle since October 2009.
"These accidents should serve as a warning for Jakarta provincial administration, as the owner of the [Hotel Indonesia] traffic circle fountain, to build better security around the fountain to prevent future incidents," Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Baharudin Djafar said.
