Jakarta. At least seven people were killed and three injured in a traffic accident on the Cikopo-Palimanan toll road in West Java in the early hours of Sunday (15/01).
West Java Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Yusri Yunus said the collision between a Daihatsu Luxio minibus and a truck occurred at around 02.30 a.m. near the 161-kilometer marker on the carriageway heading from Cikopo to Palimanan.
The accident allegedly occurred when the driver of the minibus fell asleep while driving, Yusri said.
"He failed to anticipate the situation and lost control of the vehicle, which collided with the truck," Yusri told state-run Antara news agency.
The injured were taken to Arjawinangun Hospital in Cirebon, West Java.
