Example
“Six Killed in Accident on Jalan Semarang”
Six people were killed and two are injured in a collision between a bus, a car and a
truck at 10:35 p.m. on Jalan Semarang, North Surabaya last night (24th July, 2020).
The dead were the passengers in the bus. Police assume the bus may have been trying
to overtake the truck when it was struck by a car coming from the opposite direction. The
driver of the bus may not have been using his lights, as the car driver said he did not see the
bus approaching. The bus was found in a badly damaged condition for hitting the road
barrier before it rolled over.
The police said the bus should not have been trying to pass the truck, since
overtaking is not allowed on Semarang street. In addition, the police reported that any
vehicles must not exceed the speed of 40 km per hour at the street as it has been given a
sign. The injured victims were immediately taken to the nearest hospital, and the six others
were in the process of identfication.
