Indonesia- A tour bus met its fate in a ravine after it was left unattended by the driver in Guci Tegal, Central Java, Indonesia.

The incident that killed one on board happened last Tuesday (May 7) and was caught on camera by the public near the scene.

As reported by Coconuts Jakarta, the driver was transporting a tour group of 50 from South Tangerang, Banten to Guci, which was famous for its hot springs.

Before it made its destination, the bus made a temporary stop there on what appeared to be a downhill slope. Besides him and his assistant, 13 other passengers stepped out of the vehicle for some air. That’s when things started to turn awry.

The bus, which still carried 37 passengers onboard, then started to move on its own down the downhill slope and gained momentum. It then plunged into the ravine, rolled over and landed in the shallow river.

Among those onboard, one male passenger was killed, two were heavily injured and dozens escaped with minor injuries.

Some suspected that the cause of the accident was an unattended child in the bus playing with the handbrake and accidentally releasing it.

However, according to CNN Indonesia, police denied the allegations after interviewing witnesses. Witnesses on the bus said that all three children on board, which suffered minor injuries were on their guardian’s laps.

According to reports, the bus was parked at the scene with the engine running and the front and rear tyres were allegedly wedged with wood.

Police said that they will focus their attention on identifying possible failures in the bus’s brake system.

I hope the passengers appreciated that, because they all got a little something extra that wasn't listed in the travel brochure.

The police have named two suspects, namely the driver and the net assistant in a bus accident that fell into a ravine at the Guci Tourism Object, Tegal Regency.

The determination of the suspect was made after the police conducted a case in the PO Duta Wisata bus accident number B-7260-CGA in Guci Tegal which left two passengers dead and dozens injured.

At the time of the incident, the bus had been started to warm up the engine and some of the passengers had boarded.

The bus driver named as a suspect is Romyani, a resident of Pagedangan, Tangerang. Meanwhile, the other is named Andri Yulianto, a resident of Cipayung, East Jakarta.

The Head of Public Relations of the Central Java Regional Police, Kombes*Pol*M*Iqbal*Alqudusy confirmed the determination of the suspects as the driver and helper.

Both are charged with Article 359 of the Criminal Code Any person who because of his mistakes or negligence causes another person to die, is threatened with imprisonment for a maximum of 5 years or imprisonment for a maximum of 1 year.


From the title of the case it was also revealed that based on the results of the examination of the expert witness from Hino, it was explained that the tourism bus PO Duta Wisata with number B-7260-CGA was parked with the hand brake or the hand brake locked.

In addition, the wheels have also been propped up.

"However, because the vehicle is parked on a sloping terrain with an inclination of 8 degrees, as well as loose or loose soil contours and the additional passenger load that rises causes the wheel chock to sink so that the rear wheels can rotate slowly," wrote a statement.
