I did not know if the tire went up on the sidewalk and eventually tumbled back to the left

"It was around 7:40 am, I came from Depok wanted to send goods to the Jalan Lenteng Agung. Then after asking route, I have to turn around here. I was confused because I thought it was forbidden, I was hesitant," said Husein (45) the trucker, Saturday (4/12).

According to Hussein, due to his hesitation to cross the railway crossing in front of the U-turn, he was not aware of the right rear tire went up on the sidewalk river bridge. This made the truck swerved to the left and then tumbled instead. "I focused on vehicles crossing railroad tracks from the opposite direction. I did not know if the tire went up on the sidewalk and eventually tumbled back to the left," said the man who claimed to have just two days working in the shipping company.
