A toll road official, Mulyadi, 49, was hit by a car while helping victims of a car accident on the Jagorawi toll road.
He passed away on the scene.
On Thursday night, Mulyadi tried to help victims after three minibuses were involved in an accident.
State-owned toll road operator Jasa Marga spokesperson Dwimawan Heru said two of the minibuses were removed to the roadside.
The other minibus was still in one of the road's lanes.
“When he wanted to secure the lane by installing a rubber cone and remove the remaining minibus, he was hit from the back by a car,” Dwimawan said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
Mulyadi died and his colleague, who was also on duty, suffered major injuries.
One crane officer and the driver of the minibus also suffered major injuries.
Mulyadi was taken to PMI hospital in Bogor, while the crane officer was taken to Ciawi Hospital.
The other two were hospitalized at the Pertamedika Sentul Hospital in Bogor.
The perpetrator who struck Mulyadi has been detained by the police. (wnd/wit)
