A
motorcyclist fainted and fell off his motorbike after being pulled over by a police officer on Jl. Margonda Raya in Depok, West Java, on Monday.
“At first, we thought he was pretending to faint to avoid being ticketed. It turns out he was truly unconscious,” head of the Depok Police’s traffic jam task force, First Insp. Fitri, said as quoted by kompas.com on Tuesday.
The motorcyclist, identified as Yudhi Candra, 37, a Depok resident, was immediately rushed to the nearby Bunda Hospital.
According to doctors, Yudhi had fainted because of a chronic ulcer, Fitri said.
Yudhi has regained consciousness and is improving under doctors’ supervision.
Depok Police traffic unit head Comr. Sutomo said Yudhi had been pulled over by police for using the fast lane designated for cars.
However, Yudhi stopped at the separator line between the slow lane and fast lane. As the officer approached him, Yudhi fainted and fell off his motorbike. (gis)
