A
motorcyclist who trespassed into a Transjakarta bus lane died in an accident on Monday night in the Harmoni intersection, Central Jakarta.
According to the Jakarta Police's traffic management center Twitter account, @TMCPoldaMetro, the accident occurred at 6:39 p.m.
Transjakarta spokesman Wibowo said that the bus, PPD 258, had just allowed passengers to board at Harmoni central bus shelter and was heading to Grogol shelter in West Jakarta as its final destination.
As the bus was heading to Pecenongan shelter, a motorcycle entered the busway from the bus' left side.
The motorcyclist hit the bus' rear tire, which then caused him to fall and crash into the busway's concrete barrier.
"Soon after it happened, our staff members rushed the motorcyclist to a hospital, but he died on the way," Wibowo said as quoted by kompas.com. (vla)
