Deadly Accident in Tangerang! Truck Driver Positive for Drugs, Six People Injured, Dozens of Vehicles Damaged
JFN (24), the wing box truck driver who crashed into a number of vehicles in Tangerang City on Thursday (31/10/2024), has now been officially named a suspect.

Tangerang City Metro Police Chief, Kombes Zain Dwi Nugroho, explained that JFN faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison in accordance with Article 311 paragraphs (2) and (4) in conjunction with Article 312 of Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation, with a maximum fine IDR 20 million. “The threat of punishment is up to 10 years in prison,” said Zain.
This accident started when JFN, who was driving a wing box truck from Cikokol to Cipondoh, Tangerang City, suddenly hit a Suzuki Ertiga car which was stopped at a red light towards the Kodim. Instead of taking responsibility, JFN actually accelerated his vehicle, causing it to crash into a number of other vehicles along Jalan KH Hasyim Ashari, until it was finally stopped by residents at the Tugu Adipura Roundabout.
Not only that, laboratory test results showed that JFN was driving under the influence of methamphetamine. The police revealed that this condition is very dangerous because the influence of drugs can interfere with your ability to drive. As a result of JFN’s actions, six people were injured and had to be treated at several hospitals in Tangerang, while JFN was rushed to hospital after being attacked by the mob.

Huge Fire at Animal Feed Factory in Bekasi Triggered by Explosion of Factory Production Equipment
A large fire broke out at an animal feed factory on Jalan Kali Abang Tengah, Medan Satria, Bekasi City, on Friday (1/11), and lasted more than 12 hours. Fire teams are still struggling to extinguish the fire which continues to burn. Head of the Bekasi Disdamkarmat Fire and Rescue Division, Namar Naris, conveyed the initial suspicion that the fire was triggered by an explosion in the factory’s production equipment.
“According to information from workers, the fire started due to an explosion from production equipment which caused the fire to spread quickly,” said Namar Naris to reporters, Friday (1/11). He emphasized that based on witness statements, there was no indication of a short circuit or short circuit as the initial cause of the fire.
However, the exact cause of this fire is still awaiting the results of further investigations from the police. To help with the extinguishing process, the fire brigade also asked factory management to provide heavy equipment to remove the zinc material covering the fire source area. Collapsed zinc steel and piles of flammable feed materials were the main obstacles in efforts to extinguish the fire.
“The fire has been successfully localized, but the central part which is still covered by material has not been completely extinguished. “We hope that in the next 2-3 hours the fire can be completely extinguished so that the cooling process can be carried out immediately,” explained Namar Naris.
