The Jakarta Police questioned five people who either were involved or witnessed a car crash on the Wiyoto Wiyono toll road in Jakarta on Sunday between a small pickup truck and a Lamborghini driven by well-known lawyer, Hotman Paris Hutapea.

'€œWe'€™ve questioned a toll road officer, a toll road patrol officer, several local residents and Hotman,'€ Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rikwanto told reporters on Monday.

Your comments:

The Lambo'€™s airbags did not inflate: A clear indication that it did not hit a rigid object. It'€™s near impossible for a sports car of the Lambo'€™s class to experience a fatal failure in the driver'€™s protection.

Hence, I believe that the car hit a soft object with enough impact to damage the bonnet but not strong enough to activate the airbag and/or the side bag.

And there is no side impact (likely to occur when trying to overtake in a narrow gap) too, since there is no mark, dent or scar along the side of the Lambo.

Why haven'€™t we been told what speed Hotman was driving at compared to the speed limit on the city toll road.

The speed limit is 80 kph. His Lamborghini Gallardo was obviously going much faster than that.

A Lamborghini can stop instantly at 50 mph, there would be no reason for any accident, so he must have been speeding when the accident took place.

If he hit the truck head on, the Lambo would not have survived, the front suspension would have been heavily damaged and stuck in the truck chassis or body.

As we'€™ve seen on TV, the Lambo did survive, then stopped at the next toll gate. It was shown with a damaged bonnet and grill, so it must have hit a soft object, i.e. a human body.

And why on earth did he have to run away in the first place? He is the victim, uninjured, then he had to help the truck driver instead of abandoning the site.

Plainly, he had no reason to flee. It should be a very simple case.
