A driver seeking to avoid hitting a
taxi on Thursday plunged into the Cisadane River near in Neglasari in
Tangerang, Banten.
Suharyono, who was driving to
Soekarno-Hatta International Airport alone, said that he swerved
after a taxi in front of his van stopped short to pick up some
passengers.
“I panicked. I turned the steering
wheel to the right, but I lost control,” Suharyono said as quoted
by kompas.com.
While no one injured in the accident,
traffic was backed up for almost a kilometer as officials aided
Suharyono.
The police were evacuating the vehicle
until late in the afternoon.
