ity-owned construction company Jakarta Propertindo president director Satya Heragandhi said the company was conducting further investigations following the collapse of a light rapid transit (LRT) girder in Kayu Putih, East Jakarta, early on Monday. 

Satya said all documents related to the accident had been collected and submitted to Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan on Tuesday morning.

"We have carried out some processes to conduct further investigation and all necessary documents were collected last night," Satya said on Tuesday, as quoted by tribunnews.com.

In the wee hours of Monday, the LRT girder collapsed only a few minutes after being installed. 

Five workers were injured and taken to Columbia Asia Hospital in East Jakarta. 

Satya said all workers were wearing personal protective equipment during the accident. (wnd)
