fter questioning numerous witnesses, Bogor Police have detained and named Bambang Hernowo, 51, a suspect in a deadly collision involving multiple vehicles on Jl. Raya Puncak in Bogor on Saturday.
Bambang is the driver of the HS Transport bus, which hit several cars and motorcycles in the accident that caused the death of at least four people, reportedly due to malfunctioning brake system.
Bambang allegedly does not possess a driving license or vehicle registration document (STNK) for the bus.
“We have named the bus driver a suspect, and we are currently carrying out further investigation. He will be detained at Bogor Police headquarters,” Bogor Police traffic division head Adj. Comr. Hasby Ristama told reporters on Saturday evening.
He added that the bus had been heading back to Jakarta after bringing a group of employees of PT Inkonsido to Wisata Matahari Park in Puncak for a vacation.
“It took three hours to evacuate and clear the area,” Hasby said. (fac/dan)
