Overturned Truck Loaded with Cans of Milk in Pantura Indramayu: Residents Fight Over Scattered Reject Products
The truck carrying a load of liquid milk in cans had an accident. It overturned on the Pantura route in the Langut Village area, Lohbener District, Indramayu Regency, West Java, Monday (21/8/2023). The contents of milk cans were scattered on the road.
Residents enthusiastically approached and fought over the canned milk. Video footage of crowds of residents flocking to and fighting over these cans of milk has gone viral on social media. Several residents were seen bringing canned milk home in large or plastic sacks.
The owner of the canned milk cargo did not object to the residents’ actions. Canned milk scattered on the road is known to be a product unsuitable for sale or is commonly referred to as a “reject” product.
“We can no longer use the cargo because a lot of it leaked and broke. This is a rejected product. Therefore, when residents come to pick it up, we just let it go,” said Darsim, a representative for the milk-producing company.
Darsim even felt grateful to see the crowd of residents who had come to pick up the scattered cans of milk. With this action, they don’t have to bother cleaning the streets from spilled milk cans.
“At first, we were confused about how to get rid of the leftovers. If we were to take it, it would just become trash. However, we are very grateful that the residents help clean up the streets, so we don’t have to bother cleaning it ourselves,” added Darsim.
Darsim explained that his party had sorted the goods after the canned milk transport truck had an accident. As a result, around 30 percent of the cargo was deemed unfit for sale, and residents were allowed to take it. Meanwhile, the remaining 70 percent in good condition remain safe.
Regarding the accident incident, it was reported that the truck carrying the cargo of canned milk had previously come from East Java and was on its way to Cikarang. It is suspected that the driver fell asleep, lost control, and hit the median. The truck eventually rolled over to the left side of the road.
“This incident did not result in any fatalities or injuries. The driver and passengers were only in shock,” said the Head of the Indramayu Police, AKBP M Fahri Siregar, through the Head of the Traffic Unit, AKP Bagus Yudo.
The truck involved in the accident was evacuated to the Loh Bener Police Headquarters. “The Indramayu Police Traffic Traffic Unit is handling this case,” Bagus explained.
