Chicken truck collides with Tronton truck, driver is pinned down
In a shocking incident in the early hours of Tuesday (24/9), two trucks had a fatal accident on Jalan Raya Mojoagung, Jombang. The accident, which occurred at around 01.30, involved a chicken truck and a tronton truck, causing three people to be injured.
An eyewitness, Tigas, revealed that the accident started when a chicken truck with license plate number L 9786 UY driven by Muhammad Yasin (30) was driving from east to west. The truck, which was also carrying kernet Noval Setyawan (20), allegedly became exhausted and entered the opposite lane.
“At that time, the chicken truck was traveling at medium speed, suddenly veered into a lane it wasn’t supposed to. “It seems like the driver is sleepy,” said Tigas.
An accident was unavoidable when the tronton truck number B 9478 UYU passed from the opposite direction. The two vehicles collided violently, causing the front of both to be badly damaged and the driver to be pinned to the driver’s seat. The evacuation process was dramatic.
Fortunately, although both drivers suffered injuries, there were no fatalities in this accident. Ipda Siswanto, Head of the Jombang Police Traffic Unit, explained that the two drivers had been rushed to hospital for treatment, while the chicken truck driver survived without significant injuries.

Six Lives Lost in Bus and Truck Collision
A terrible tragedy occurred in Pantura Pati-Rembang, precisely in Batangan District, Pati Regency, Central Java, in the early hours of Monday (23/9/2024). The accident involving the Surya Bali bus and two trontoon trucks resulted in six people being killed and four others injured.
According to the Head of the Pati Police Traffic Unit, Police Commissioner Asfauri, the bus with plate number DK 7207 AC carrying 28 passengers was traveling at high speed from east to west. Suddenly, the bus swerved to the right and hit the bed of a Mitsubishi Tronton truck number P 9339 OB, before then hitting another truck number L 8899 UQ.
“From the information we received, the six people who died consisted of the tronton truck driver who was behind, the bus driver and four bus passengers,” explained Asfauri. This accident occurred at around 02.30 WIB, when a bus coming from Surabaya encountered two trucks traveling side by side.
Asfauri said that the weather conditions at that time were rainy, making the road slippery. It is suspected that the bus driver was sleepy, which caused the bus to swerve to the right. One of the truck drivers who survived, Yogi, said that before the incident, he saw two buses from the direction of Surabaya as if they were overtaking each other. “The first bus stopped overtaking because it saw my truck, but the second bus suddenly took the right lane and hit the bed of my truck, which was followed by a collision with the trailer behind,” said Yogi.
This accident is a tragic reminder of the importance of vigilance and safety when driving, especially in bad weather conditions.
