our people were injured on the Jakarta-Merak toll road on Wednesday night after somebody threw rocks at their car from a nearby footbridge.
Indrajaya, 20, a university student from Bogor, West Java, said he was driving with his family when somebody threw rocks at their car, injuring him, his father and two siblings.
Videos and photos that he had posted on his Instagram account @jktinfo show a large rock that shattered the car’s windshield.
He said he was heading to Merak, Banten, from Jakarta and passed Kilometer 49 of the toll road when somebody pelted the car with rocks.
“Previously, I shared a posting of rocks being thrown at a car on a toll road, which led to the death of a driver [on June 5], on social media [...] but it turns out that I too became the victim of a similar incident,” Indrajaya told The Jakarta Post on Thursday.
He said he exited the toll road from the East Serang toll gate and reported the incident to toll road operator Marga Mandala Sakti’s officers before heading to the Sari Asih Hospital in Tangerang, Banten, to get treatment for the injured.
Indrajaya added that the case was currently being handled by the Banten Police who told him that it was the first incident of rocks being thrown at cars on the Jakarta-Merak toll road. (ami)
