Police in the city of Parepare, South Sulawesi are investigating a hit-and-run involving a police car and a motorcycle.
CCTV footage of the incident has gone viral in the country.
The clip, taken yesterday, shows a marked police patrol pickup truck speeding down a narrow road when it collided with a motorcycle carrying two people. The car then immediately flees the scene.
Parepare Police confirmed that the pickup truck was indeed a police patrol car. However, they say that the car was not registered with any police departments in the city, meaning that it was driven outside of its jurisdiction.
“Essentially, we will pursue them,” Parepare Police Traffic Unit Head M Arafah said yesterday.
The victims, 43-year-old Hasbi and his 18-year-old son Muhammad Hidayat, luckily came away from the hit-and-run with just scrapes on their arms and legs.
