INDOZONE.ID – A boy was killed by a truck when he wanted to ask to be taken home to Medan, North Sumatra, on Monday night (8/31/2020).
The boy, Jonathan Sigalingging (10), is known to be begging for donations at a crossroads while performing the ‘silver man’ action.
After coming home from work, Jonathan walks with his friend, Wando (10).
When they reached Jalan Amal, Medan Sunggal Sub-district, Medan, they saw a truck passing in the opposite direction.
Jonathan then approached the shoulder of the road. Unfortunately, he was hit on the spot by an oncoming truck.
Then Police Chief Sunggal Iptu Idem Sitepu confirmed this incident.
Jonathan’s body was taken to the nearest hospital.
According to Idem, Jonathan’s body was crushed by the incident.
“In this case we are still conducting more investigations,” he told reporters.
Based on the information obtained, Jonathan and Windo at the time had just asked for donations at the intersection of Jalan Amal-Jalan Ring Road, Medan.
On Monday (8/31/2020) around 10.30pm WIB, Jonathan decided to return to his residence at Jalan Parsaoran Nauli, Muliorejo Village, Sunggal District, Medan.
“It is possible that the driver did not see the victim, because it was raining a lot,” a Traffic Police officer, Bripka P. Tarigan, told reporters.
The phenomenon of the appearance of the ‘silver man’ in Medan has recently raised both pros and cons.
Some consider their existence to be a place of exploitation. Especially for underage children.
However, some others feel sorry for their financial condition, so they are forced to beg in this new way.
