A deadly accident rocked Jalan Raya Condong Village, Gading, Probolinggo Regency, claiming the lives of a student and a child. Both died in an incident involving a motorbike and a towing truck.

Meanwhile, the second victim was MNZ (6), a resident of Tambelang Village, Krucil District, who breathed his last breath in hospital.
Abdul Latief, an eye witness, said that the accident occurred when the truck allegedly experienced brake failure and hit two motorbikes in front of it at around 11.00 WIB. The victims were lying on the ground, and unfortunately, one of them was pronounced dead at the scene.
“I don’t know the exact chronology, but when I arrived there were already 3 people lying down and 1 person seemed to have died and 2 other people were lying down with serious injuries to their heads and legs,” said Latif.
The truck involved in the accident eventually rolled over, causing its load of materials to be scattered around the location. The material turned out to be toll road fill.
Head of Probolinggo Police Traffic Unit Gakkum, Ipda Aditya Wikrama, revealed that the truck driver involved in the accident was named Sudi Prayitno (40), a resident of Wringinanom, Gresik. Aditya said that this accident was caused by the truck’s brakes failing.
Aditya added that currently the authorities are evacuating vehicles and clearing truck loads of land that are blocking the road. This effort is made to prevent traffic jams and enable the crime scene (TKP) process to run smoothly.
“Meanwhile, 2 people died at the scene. For the others, we ask for time because we are still evacuating and carrying out crime scene investigations, we will inform you again as soon as possible,” said Aditya.
“Meanwhile, the two other victims who are the parents of the children who died are currently still undergoing treatment. We have secured the dump truck driver and we will examine and follow up,” he concluded.

Work Accidents of Paving Project Workers in Ponorogo. Brakes Fail, Worker Suffers Serious Injuries and Enters ICU
A worker on an asphalting project heading to the Ngebel Lake tourist attraction, Ponorogo, suffered a serious work accident. The victim named Sadi, a resident of Jombang Regency, is currently undergoing intensive treatment in the ICU at the Regional General Hospital (RSUD) dr. Harjono.
The accident occurred on Saturday evening, December 16 2023, in Dukuh Bentis, Wagir Lor Village, Ngebel District, Ponorogo Regency. At that time, Sadi was controlling a heavy TR type paving machine, which was experiencing a brake failure problem.
In an effort to avoid falling into a ravine due to the sharp decline in road conditions, Sadi chose to keep the vehicle to the left of the road. Even though he managed to jump out before the vehicle hit, Sadi suffered serious injuries, including nose bleeds, cracks to his right and left jaw, and a crack to his forehead with a clot in the back of his brain.
Ngebel Police Chief, Inspector Tutut Ariyanto, explained that the declining road conditions and failed brakes caused the incident. The victim was immediately rushed to RSUD dr. Harjono Ponorogo for further treatment. Even though the asphalting project has temporarily stopped, the project has not been completely evacuated because heavy equipment is still in the ditch.
This accident is a reminder of the importance of work safety in the construction environment and the need for further preventive measures to avoid similar accidents in the future.
