Tabanan hit and run victim killed after car plunges down 50-meter drop, police hunt suspect

Police are currently hunting the driver of a Kijang Innova involved in a fatal hit and run that occurred in Tabanan, Bali on Sunday night. 

At around 11:15 pm on the Denpasar-Gilimanuk By Pass in Peken Village, Tabanan, the Kijang moved to pass a Daihatsu Xenia, driven by Ahmad Fahmi. But when a car came from the opposite direction, the Kijang allegedly grazed the Daihatusu, which swerved off the road, plunging down a 50-meter drop, according to a Tribun Bali report. 

The Kijang apparently hit another vehicle, a Suzuki pick-up parked on the shoulder of the road, before fleeing the scene, allegedly turning back towards Denpasar. 

Fahmi was rushed to Tabanan General Hospital but reportedly died en route. 

Tabanan Traffic Police Chief Insp. I Ketut Mastra Budaya says police are currently working on identifying the driver of the Kijang.
