eavy rain and strong wind on Tuesday afternoon caused a tree on Jl. Lenteng Agung, Jagakarsa, South Jakarta, to fall and hit a passing car, killing one and injuring two.
The incident occurred at 3:30 p.m., said Depok Police traffic unit head Comr. Sutomo.
"One passenger is confirmed dead, one has a broken leg and the other one survived," Sutomo said as quoted by wartakota.tribunnews.com.
He said the Jagakarsa Police and the South Jakarta Police were handling the matter as it happened in South Jakarta.
The accident, which occurred on the border between South Jakarta and Depok, West Java, caused traffic congestion. The police blocked part of the road in order to remove the victims from the scene. (dea)
