Utomo explained that the incident began when a sedan traveling in the left lane collided with a truck with license plate B 9973 ON in front. The sedan rolled over and then collided with Hiace’s car with the license plate L 7940 UA in the right lane.
After hitting Hiace, the sedan caught fire. Then behind the sedan a white Honda CRV with the license plate number L 1225 hit the truck from behind. The front of the CRV car even slid under the rear of the truck.
“After the evacuation, there were two victims who were unconscious from the rear CRV. We still take him to Pandan Arang Hospital, Boyolali, ”Utomo said, at the scene.

Meanwhile, there were 6 passengers from Hiace, all congratulations,” continued Utomo. Meanwhile, the driver of the burning sedan was taken to Hidayah Hospital, Boyolali. He reportedly got out of the car. Meanwhile, the trucker and his partner were not injured.
The temporary suspicion of the police was that the driver of the sedan did not anticipate the situation and therefore struck the truck in front of him. So was the CRV driver behind him. According to Utomo, the flow of traffic at that time was diverted towards the Colomadu toll gate during the evacuation. However, around 10:40 p.m. WIB, the vehicles were able to pass traffic to Semarang.
