An accident in Mendoyo, Jembrana sadly turned fatal for a high school student.
The accident in western Bali reportedly involved a chain reaction between three vehicles: a Yamaha Jupiter motorbike driven by 17-year-old I Kadek Jaya Subagiada, a Mitsubushi truck by Yusuf, and a little pick-up truck driven by I Ketut Sutamayasa.
Based on information collected by local newspaper Tribun Bali, the accident went down on Thursday at kilometer 78, to the side of Timur Jembatan Yeh Buah, Yehembang in Mendoyo at about 4:40 pm.
Apparently Subagiada had been driving his motorbike westbound, when an unidentified vehicle came to a sudden stop. As a result, Subagiada also stopped quickly, but the truck behind the teen, driven by Yusuf, did not stop in time and rammed into the Yamaha Jupiter, fatally knocking the high school student down. But it didn’t stop there: the pick up driven by Sutamysa then hit Yusuf’s truck, resulting in a pile up.
I Gede Sumadra Kerthiawan of Jembrana Police confirmed with Tribun that the accident resulted in the death of one victim.
The case is being handled by Jembrana Police, Sumadra told Tribun.
