Teenage girl killed in horrific car crash

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Sat, 03/10/2012 4:15 PM

A teenage girl is dead and a passenger hospitalized after their car crashed into a billboard's supporting pole in front of the Wisma Nugra Santana building on Jl. Sudirman, before bursting into flames early Saturday.

The accident claimed the life of driver Olivia Dewi, 17, while her friend Joy Sebastian was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Jakarta Police’s traffic management center's First Brig. David said that the speeding car was first spotted at 3 a.m., coming from Semanggi and heading to the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle.

He said that the driver appeared to have lost control of the car before it hit the pole. The car caught alight soon after.

Security guards and firefighters were on hand to extinguish the fire. After it was put out, Olivia was found dead.

Joy was rushed to hospital and Olivia’s body was brought to Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital for an autopsy.

The police are still investigating the cause of the accident.

“This case is handled by the traffic accident unit,” David said on Saturday, as quoted by tempo.co. (iwa/dic)
