Greater Jakarta: Motorist crashes into three vehicles

A

59-year-old woman driving along Jl. Mangga Dua, Sawah Besar, in Central Jakarta, crashed into three vehicles on Wednesday morning, then proceeded to take off her clothes after getting out of her car.

According to Central Jakarta Police deputy head Asep Guntur, the woman, identified only as TM, drove her Toyota Agya into a motorcycle passing in front of her.

“After hitting the motorcycle, she kept driving and her car crashed into a taxi that was exiting Le Grandeur hotel,” Asep said on Wednesday as quoted by kompas.com.

The woman drove off once again, only to hit a bajaj (three-wheeled motorized vehicle).

When residents surrounded her car, TM got out and took her top off, then put it back on.

A Central Jakarta Police traffic officer, Second Insp. Atif, said that according to TM’s family, the woman had a mental illness.

“We couldn’t question her because she looked distressed. She was taken home by her family because she kept trying to take her clothes off in the [police] station,” he said.
