Facts about a Bus Accident Entering the River in Guci Tegal
On Sunday morning, May 7, 2023, a bus accident fell into a river in the Guci tourist area, Tegal, Central Java. This accident killed one person and injured dozens of others. The group of tourists who had an accident came from South Tangerang with 50 passengers, of which 37 were on the bus at the time of the incident.
The accident occurred when the previously parked bus slid and fell into a river on a downhill road. When the incident occurred, the bus driver was not on the bus because he was talking with the tour group outside the bus. The bus driver, Romyani, claimed that he had started the bus engine, got off the bus, and activated the handbrake before the incident occurred.
However, it is not yet known whether the handbrake is working. The Tegal Police Chief AKBP Muhammad Sajarod denied the rumor that the bus accident was caused by a small child pulling on the handbrake based on information from passengers on the bus at the time of the incident. The driver and co-driver are still in witness status and are being questioned by the police.

The KMP Royce ferry caught fire while sailing from Merak to Bakauheni. This is the reason.
On May 6, 2023, the KMP Royce 1 ferry carrying many passengers caught fire in the Sunda Strait while en route from Merak Port to Bakauheni Port.
The cause of the fire is believed to be a bus on board the ship which caught fire. The combined SAR team from Basarnas, TNI AL Banten, Polairud Banten, KPLP Banten, BPTD, ASDP Merak, PMI, and local fishermen immediately evacuated to save all passengers on board. The evacuation process was completed at 17.30 WIB. Currently, the number of survivors is still in the process of data collection by officers.
Ship accidents that occur in Indonesia like this often occur and can be a threat to the safety of passengers. Therefore, the authorities must be more stringent in checking and improving the ship’s seaworthiness before departure to minimize the risk of an accident.
In addition, ship operators must provide adequate evacuation training and ensure that all passengers have adequate knowledge of evacuation and safety procedures on board.
We also need to increase awareness of ship safety and promote the importance of using the necessary marine safety equipment, such as life jackets, when boarding a ship.

House in West Bandung Elite Complex Collapsed by Landslide
Heavy rains in West Bandung Regency triggered landslides and caused 12 housing units in the Pramestha Complex, Mekarwangi Village, Lembang District, to collapse on Monday (8/5/2023) at 12.00 WIB.
Access to the location hit by the landslide was closed, and only a handful of people could pass. The collapsed house is several blocks away and is still in the process of being finished. In addition, three motorbikes and house materials were also buried in the landslide.
The Chief Executive of the BPBD, Djarot Prasetyo, said that the collapse of the house was initiated by a crack in the building heard by workers. Workers were plastering on several houses at that time and heard cracking sounds, so they came out of the building.
Apparently, after leaving, the building collapsed. Even though there were no casualties due to this disaster, the BPBD conducted an assessment to check the impact of the landslide. Workers are also asked to increase their vigilance in facing the potential for extreme weather.
Currently, the house is still being repaired by the developer with the help of workers who want to clean up the building debris.

Horrified! PLTU Sumsel Employee Killed Falling 19 Floors at Work
A project employee at the Sumsel 1 PLTU, Muara Enim, South Sumatra, died after falling from a height of 19 floors. Kapolres Muara Enim, AKBP Andi, stated that the accident occurred when the victim was working on the top floor of PLTU Sumsel 1 on Wednesday (3/5) around 09.00 WIB.
When walking on zinc which had not yet been installed with iron bars to support the zinc, the victim fell 19 floors up to the 44th floor. The results of the TKP and preliminary investigations show that the victim allegedly did not comply with the SOP because he did not use body protection or safety ropes. Hence, the victim fell suddenly and died.
The police are still investigating this incident to determine whether there was an element of intent. The police are also coordinating with related parties in this case. The victim’s body has been handed over to the family at the funeral home at OKI.
Work accidents often occur in Indonesia and are caused by work safety violations. In addition, awareness of the importance of using work safety equipment must be further increased and a priority in every construction project.
This is very important because work accidents can endanger the safety of workers’ lives, as well as have an impact on families and the surrounding community. Therefore, companies must enforce compliance with work safety SOPs to prevent preventable accidents.

The truck accident occurred on the Lempeni Village main road, Tempeh District, Lumajang Regency, East Java, on Monday, May 8, 2023. A truck loaded with plywood with police number N 8770 YI overturned to the right while traveling from the north at the bend in Lempeni Village.
The truck driver, Yuswa Ardiansyah (23), doesn’t have a driver’s license. Luckily, no vehicles were traveling from the opposite direction, so there were no casualties. The cause of the accident is believed to be due to the overloaded truck and the sloping road conditions.
Previously, on the previous day, there was also an accident at the same place due to a truck carrying sugarcane which hit two motorcycles, causing two people to die and five people injured.
Head of the Traffic Unit of Lumajang Police, AKP Radyati Putri Pradini, appealed to truck drivers to pay attention to load capacity so they are not forced to overload. If you still insist, the police will take action in the form of fines or loading and unloading.
