Four people are dead and three others have been injured following a collision between a motorcycle and a car in West Jakarta in the early hours of Monday, the police have said.
West Jakarta Traffic Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Heri Ompungsu said on Monday that the driver of a Toyota Fortuner, identified as Riki Agung Prasetio, 24, driving from Grogol toward Tangerang hit a motorcycle driven by Zulkahfi Rahman at 4:10 a.m. in front of a factory at Jl. Daan Mogot KM 15.
The car then hit a tree and an electrical pole before rolling over onto the middle of the street.
The four fatalities have been identified as Zulkahfi and his wife Nuraini, who was a passenger on the motorcycle. The other fatalities have been identified as Tatang Satriana and Evi, who were passengers in the Fortuner, Riki was among the injured and no further details have been provided on the remaining casualties.
The survivors were taken to Mitra Keluarga Hospital in Kalideres, West Jakarta and the bodies of the dead victims were taken to Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in Central Jakarta.
Police have not explained what caused the collision.
Riki's urine is being tested as part of the investigation, Heri said.
Riki's initial statement was that he was not fully focused while driving, Heri added.
"We will also discuss with experts after his urine test results are released," he said as quoted by kompas.com. (rin)
