Hyundai driver who brushes police car in fatal Sunday Market crash named suspect

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Handana, a black Hyundai driver who brushed against a police car causing a fatal accident in Jalan Raya Ragunan, Pasar Minggu, on Friday (12/25/2020) was named a suspect.

“Polda Metro Jaya investigators have cited Brother H, a black Hyundai driver, as a suspect in this accident,” Polda Metro Jaya traffic director Kombes Sambodo Purnomo said at a press conference on Saturday (12/26/ 2020).

Sambodo explained that the accident that caused the death of a motorcycle rider was not alone.

It was because Handana grabbed the Innova Silver car driven by a member of the police, Aiptu Imam Chambali.

Sambodo explained that Handana’s naming as a suspect was supported by various pieces of evidence.

The first is the testimony of the witness who saw the car driven by Handana passing on the left to collide with Innova Aiptu Imam’s car.

“There were 2 witnesses who saw a black Hyundai car passing on the left and then collided with the Innova car, causing the Innova car to lose control,” continued Sambodo.

Due to losing control, the Innova car changed lanes and collided with three motorists traveling in opposite directions.

Second, CCTV footage was obtained showing the seconds Aiptu Imam’s car was brushed against by Handana’s car.

“What is very clear is the evidence in the form of CCTV images that we obtained from a store not far from the scene, which shows the Hyundai driver crashing his car into the Innova car,” Sambodo said.

Other evidence collected was damage to the Innova car driven by Aiptu Imam and the car driven by Handana.

Handana himself has now been detained at the Gakkum Traffic Sub-Directorate in Polda Metro Jaya.
