Fuel Oil Transport Truck Overturns in Kotaagung Tanggamus, Driver Dies
Kupastuntas.co, Tanggamus - A fuel transport truck with police
number BE 9501 BF experienced a single traffic accident (Out Of Control) on
Jalan Lintas Barat Teba Bunuk Village, Kota Agung Barat District, Tanggamus
Regency, Friday 12 May 2023.
Due to this incident, the Tanggamus Resort Police deployed joint
personnel to secure the lane because the bodies of the transverse cars closed
the entire road.
The evacuation was quite dramatic, because the car overturned
with the steering wheel positioned at the bottom with the driver being squeezed
because his head was protruding from the glass, so the team had to work hard to
get the driver out first.
The Head of Resort Police (Kapolres) Tanggamus AKBP Siswara Hadi
Chandra, via the Head of Binops Sat Then Iptu Tjasudin revealed that the single
accident occurred at 05.00 in the morning.
"There was an accident with a tanker truck loaded with
diesel from Bandar Lampung heading to Bengkulu. While at Jalinbar, Teba Bunuk
Village did not have enough strength to climb, so it backed up and skidded to
the left of the road," said Iptu Tjasudin
He continued, the temporary suspicion that the cause of the
vehicle not rising was because the driver was using 5th gear when incline so
the truck backed up.
"The truck is fully loaded, so when it climbs in gear it
doesn't have enough strength to climb so it goes backwards and overturns,"
he said.
According to Iptu Tjasudin, the car was later driven by a driver
named Agus Budi Laksono (49), a resident of Kemiling, Bandar Lampung and his
assistant. After the incident, the driver died on the spot while the kenek was
safe.
"For the driver who died on the spot, his grandmother is in
a safe condition," he explained.
Iptu Tjasudin emphasized that after the evacuation, the vehicles
that were originally crossing the road have been moved aside so that the
traffic flow can be opened.
"For now, the road is open from both Bandar Lampung and
vice versa," he emphasized.
On that occasion, he thanked all the teams involved in the
evacuation, including the TNI, Polri, Transportation Agency, Firefighters and
the community and health authorities who worked hand in hand to work together
so that the driver could be removed and the car moved.
"Of course we, the Tanggamus Regional Police, would like to
thank all those involved, so that Jalinbar Tanggamus is open again," he
said. (*)
