Truck Carrying Eggs Overturned, Teenager Seriously Injured and Elderly Died on the Spot
A tragic accident occurred in Jatisrono District, Wonogiri, Saturday (12/10/2024) afternoon, when a truck carrying eggs rolled over and hit a passing motorbike rider. This accident caused an elderly person to die and a teenager to suffer serious injuries.
Head of Public Relations of the Wonogiri Police, AKP Anom Prabowo, revealed that the accident occurred at around 14.30 WIB on Jalan Jatisrono-Slogohimo, precisely in Jati Hamlet, Tanggulangin Village, Jatisrono District. The truck with plate number AG 8184 UT driven by Basori, a resident of Tulungagung, East Java, experienced a burst right front tire while driving from Purwantoro towards Wonogiri.
“Due to a burst tire, the truck lost control, rolled over, and immediately hit the Honda Supra AD 4960 PI motorbike driven by C (13) and S (73),” said Anom.
The evacuation of the victims was dramatic, considering that they were crushed under the bed of a truck, making the evacuation process take a long time. Tragically, S (73), the pillion rider on the motorbike, was declared dead on the spot, while C (13) suffered serious injuries and was immediately rushed to hospital. The truck driver, Basori, only suffered minor injuries.
The police who arrived at the location immediately carried out a crime scene investigation and evacuated the load of eggs that were scattered on the road, but the accident caused traffic jams. Anom appealed to drivers to always check the condition of their vehicles and ensure safety before driving, especially when transporting heavy loads.

The Largest Gas Station in Subulussalam Burned Down, Allegedly Due to a Short Circuit in a Pickup Car
A large fire hit the Public Fuel Filling Station (SPBU) 14 237 452 owned by H Syafriadi Manik, or known as SPBU Oyon, in Subulussalam City on Thursday (10/10/2024). This shocking incident occurred at around 12.10 WIB and caused four fuel pump engines and one Suzuki Carry pickup to burn down.
According to local residents, this fire was a heavy blow for them. The reason is, Oyon gas station is one of only two gas stations in Subulussalam City. “Hopefully it will operate again soon. Otherwise, the queues at other gas stations will definitely get longer,” complained Herlina, a local resident. Now, only the Kasman Lizar gas station in Penanggalan serves the fuel needs of all city residents, so long queues are unavoidable.
The incident started when a Suzuki Carry car caught fire while filling up with fuel at the Oyon gas station. The fire which started from the front of the car quickly spread and burned down the fuel filling area. Suddenly, gas station officers and car drivers tried to extinguish the fire, but panic and jamming of extinguishers made the situation worse. The fire eventually reached the fuel tank, making the fire worse.
A firefighting team consisting of four firefighting vehicles and one Brimob water cannon unit was deployed to tame the red rooster. After fighting for almost an hour, the fire was finally extinguished at 13.05 WIB.
As a result of this fire, the Oyon gas station was temporarily closed and a police line was installed for further investigation. The cause of the fire is thought to have come from a short circuit in a pickup truck that was filling up with fuel. Police officers are currently still investigating in more depth the exact cause of the fire which has made it increasingly difficult for Subulussalam residents to access fuel.
Residents hope that the gas station owner and PT Pertamina will immediately take quick action to repair and re-operate the Oyon gas station. The reason is, the existence of this gas station is very vital for the fuel needs of the people and passersby in the city.

Candidate for Governor Benny Laos and Five Lives Lost in Speedboat Fire in North Maluku

This tragic incident occurred at around 14.05 WIT, when Benny and his entourage were preparing to leave for Kawalo Village to carry out the campaign.
In the video footage circulating, it appears that almost half of the ship’s hull was on fire before it slowly sank. A number of passengers were seen panicking and trying to save themselves by jumping overboard. Local people rushed to provide aid to those trapped inside.
Head of the Ternate Search and Rescue (SAR) Office, Fathur Rahman, stated that the fiber material used for the ship made the fire spread quickly. The fire killed six people, including Benny Laos, who after the incident was taken to the Bobong Regional General Hospital (RSUD). Unfortunately, despite receiving treatment, Benny could not be saved and was declared dead at 17.20 WIT due to suffocation and severe burns.
Apart from Benny, several other victims who also lost their lives were North Maluku DPRD member, Ester Tantri, and Chair of the Regional Leadership Council of the North Maluku United Development Party, Mubin Wahid. Other victims include a police officer named Hamdani Buamonabot and two individuals named Nasrun and Mahsudin Ode Muisi. Many also suffered injuries and had to be treated in hospital.
Taliabu Island Police Chief, Adjunct Senior Commissioner Totok Handoyo, revealed that the cause of the ship fire was still under investigation. According to initial information, the explosion occurred when the ship’s crew was refueling while the engine and electronic equipment were still running. This was reminded by the Deputy Head of Taliabu Island Police, Commissioner Sirajudin, who first checked the condition of Benny’s group.
After the incident, the North Maluku Regional Police deployed a team to investigate this incident further. Three personnel from the Bareskrim Polri’s Forensic Laboratory Center (Puslabfor) will also assist with the investigation, along with a team from the North Sulawesi Police’s Forensic Laboratory. A number of witnesses have been questioned, including the ship’s crew and residents who witnessed the incident.
Benny Laos’s departure in this tragedy also had an impact on the North Maluku Governor Election (Pilgub). The North Maluku General Election Commission (KPU) is carrying out the process of replacing deceased candidates, with a deadline set on October 27 2024.
The selected candidate pair, Benny Laos and Sarbin Sehe, were previously supported by a number of political parties. Benny, who was the Regent of the Morotai Islands for the 2017-2022 period, now leaves his family and supporters with deep condolences in the midst of this unexpected situation.

A sea accident rocked Anambas again when the cargo ship KM Jaya Lestari
The victims in this incident were two fishermen, Rendi Purnama and Bakri, who are residents of Temburun Village, East Siantan District. At the time of the incident, they were installing fish traps in the sea.

Jupri, owner of KM Jaya Lestari He explained that the captain was not aware of any fishing activity at that location. “The captain said he didn’t see any fishing activity. “Maybe the pompong was blocked by waves caused by other ships in the vicinity,” he said. Jupri also emphasized that he was cooperative and ready to face the investigation process.
Head of the Anambas Police Water and Air Police Unit (Kasat Polairud), Iptu Giovany Casanova, added that the accident location was a ship traffic route heading to Tarempa Harbor. “This channel is narrow, and maybe the captain didn’t see the pompong in front of him,” he explained.
