However, Pius said that four-wheeled vehicles cannot go at high speed on that road, because of the heavy traffic and it is almost always jammed.


Abdullah (28) from Kembangan Utara, West Jakarta was driving his Honda on Tuesday morning. He tried to pass a truck from the right side, but hit the body of the truck, driven by Hadi Winoto.


Abdullah lost control of his bike and fell, and was run over by the truck's front tire.
