“The accident happened at around 1 PM. The truck tried to climb the ramp, but couldn’t. It then going backwards and hit the wall, blocking the road,” told Anto (24), a parking officer in the area.

Indeed, the road’s width is very narrow and can only be passed by one vehicle in turn. Moreover, the ramp’s slope is about 45 degrees.

To parse the congestion, vehicles on the alternative lane from Kemang towards Jalan Pangeran Antasari had to be diverted to Jalan Ampera Raya to turn right via Jeruk Purut Public Cemetery (TPU). The congestion in location was getting severe because there were many vehicles parked. Those vehicles belong to visitors of Palang Pintu Festival which held on Jalan Kemang Raya.
