Deadly Collision between Turangga Train vs Bandung Raya Train in Cicalengka, 4 People Killed and Dozens of Others Injured
On Friday (5/1/2024) morning, a fatal accident occurred between the Turangga and Local Bandung Raya trains in Cikuya District, Cicalengka, Bandung Regency. This accident claimed the lives of 4 people and dozens of others were injured. This tragic incident was in the spotlight because it involved two trains moving in opposite directions.
The chronology of the incident began when the Turangga Train was moving from Surabaya Gubeng to Bandung, while in the opposite direction, the Bandung Raya Commuterline was moving from Padalarang to Cicalengka. A violent collision occurred on the Cicalengka-Haurpugur KM 181+700 route, causing 3 Commuterline carriages and 8 Turangga train carriages to derail.
A passenger who survived, Heri Aliyudin, said that the situation was full of panic, and many passengers were thrown because they were still asleep. Currently, the exact cause of the accident is still under investigation, but preliminary suspicions point to the possibility that there was an obstruction in the communication line between the two trains, so that the driver could not see and communicate.
Four train officers were killed, including the driver, assistant driver, steward and a security guard. Meanwhile, the surviving passengers have been evacuated and given treatment. The list of names of injured victims covers various regions, including Tasikmalaya, Cirebon and Pekanbaru.
PT KAI apologized for the disruption of services and is currently trying to evacuate and repair the damaged rail line. Efforts were made to engineer the operation pattern to detour the train journey, while the injured victims were treated at several nearby hospitals.
In this tragedy, machinist Julian Dwi Setiono was one of the victims who died, leaving deep sorrow among his family and co-workers.

Accident of a truck carrying ballot papers that falls into a ravine in the Jambu area, Semarang Regency
A dramatic incident occurred in the Jambu area, Semarang Regency, when one of the two trucks carrying ballot papers for electoral districts 1 and 6 of Magelang Regency had an accident. The chairman of the Magelang Regency KPU, Afiffudin, stated that the truck overturned and almost fell into a ravine.
In a critical situation, the Brimob member who was tasked with guarding the truck acted quickly by jumping from the truck which was almost falling into a ravine. Although the truck driver tried his best to control the vehicle, his efforts were fruitless, causing the vehicle to fall into a ravine.
The evacuation process, which lasted almost two hours, was a challenge in itself. With the help of two tow trucks, the driver was finally evacuated and immediately rushed to hospital. Meanwhile, another truck from the printing press was approaching its destination at the Deyangan Warehouse.
However, the impact of this incident was felt. Ballot papers for electoral districts 1 and 6, with a total of around 370,000 pieces, were delayed in delivery. Afiffudin emphasized that the process of evacuating ballot papers from the ravine is still ongoing, with tight security from security forces. All parties hope that the ballot papers can be immediately returned to the printing press and transported safely.

Fire Hits Youtefa Market, Hotel and House in Jayapura. Losses Reach Hundreds of Millions of Rupiah
Sunday morning, 11 houses in RT 07 RW 06, Waimhorock Village, Jayapura, caught fire in an incident that was allegedly triggered by a burning motorbike. The incident, which occurred at around 05.30 WIT, sparked panic in the area.
Eyewitnesses stated that the first fire started from a motorbike which was probably deliberately set on fire. The fire quickly spread to surrounding buildings, creating a situation that was difficult to contain. Within 20-25 minutes, the fire erupted again at a second point, especially on the 3rd floor of the Bunga Youtefa Hotel. The exact cause of this incident is still under investigation by the police.
Not long after the fire was handled at the hotel, another fire broke out at Youtefa Market, burning more than 20 stalls. The limited number of fire extinguishers means officers are struggling to handle this emergency situation. The joint fire team from Jayapura City Police, City Government Fire Brigade, Jayapura Lantamal 10 Satrol, and Jayapura District Military Command 1701 succeeded in extinguishing the fire.
Jayapura City Police Chief, Police Commissioner Victor Dean Mackbone, revealed the alleged element of intent in the series of fires involving the Youtefa Market complex. Although there were no casualties, material losses were estimated at hundreds of millions of rupiah. Further investigations from the Jayapura City Police and Papua Regional Police are still needed to reveal the exact cause of this fire.
