A
civil servant has been named a suspect after he allegedly hit a group of cyclists who were riding on Jl. Sudirman, South Jakarta, on Saturday morning.
“The suspect is a [minibus] driver […] who’s a civil servant,” Jakarta Traffic Police official Comr. Fahri Siregar said as quoted by Antara.
The police seized the suspect’s driver’s license, car registration documents, the minibus and seven bicycles as evidence.

A total of seven people were injured and they were rushed to the nearest hospital.
One of the victims suffered a slash wound on his head.
