olice in South Jakarta have named 28-year-old South Korean national Seong Hoon Seok a suspect in a car crash that killed a motorbike rider.
"Yes, he has been named a suspect," the head of the law enforcement division at the Jakarta Police Traffic Corps, Adj. Sr. Comr. Budiyanto, said on Sunday, as quoted by kompas.com.
The accident happened late on Friday, when Seong allegedly rammed his Honda Jazz sedan into a motorbike carrying a couple identified by police as Dadang and Titin.
Dadang reportedly died from a head injury. Titin was thrown to the ground but only sustained minor injuries from the crash.
Budiyanto blamed Seong for the crash.
"Our investigation shows that the driver was reckless and was not concentrating on the road," Budiyanto said.
An eyewitness told police investigators handling the case that Seong's sedan had been speeding along Jl. Warung Jati Barat in Pancoran, South Jakarta, shortly before the crash.
The Korean national is now in police custody.
