Sutarka became sleepy while driving the vehicle and was shocked when he realized that the truck was already on the side of the road. “I don’t remember anything. The only thing I remember is the truck began crashing into the houses. I tried to hit the brake but it didn’t work,” Sutarka said.

Although the motorbike was completely damaged, Yanti survived with minor injuries. Incidentally, the properties of the two street vendors at the scene were also destroyed.

However, Sutarka admitted that he is committed to covering all the losses he had caused to the victims.
