Three people died, while 43 others got injured in a single bus crash that occurred on Kejapanan toll road's KM 762.800/B in Sidoarjo District, East Java, on Monday morning, according to the police.
The dead victims are identified as Moch Rofik Hidayat, Yana, and Berryl Chafa, who are residents of East Java, Head of the East Java Police's Traffic Division Adjunct Senior Commissioner Dwi Sumrahadi remarked.
Three other people aboard the ill-fated bus, with license plate number AA 1688 AD, survived the accident without sustaining any injury, he stated.
This tourist bus crash took place at around 2:45 a.m. local time after the bus driver, Agus Supriyanto, 51, suddenly lost control.
The bus hit a guard rail of a bridge; crashed a concrete barrier; and then overturned in the middle of the toll road, he remarked, adding that the driver might have been sleepy while heading to Sidoarjo in high speed.
