Box truck runs over motorcycle, killing mother and grandmother in Cirebon, Indonesia.
NEWS:
A mother and grandmother were killed when a large white box truck ran over a motorcycle carrying three people near the Losari gas station in Cirebon Regency, West Java, Indonesia, on Saturday, May 16, 2026.
The crash occurred at about 00:11:07 a.m. local time near SPBU Losari. Local reports identify the two women who died as the mother and grandmother of a child who was also traveling on the motorcycle. The child survived.
CCTV footage from the area records the fatal crash. The video shows the motorcycle and its occupants becoming caught in the path of the large white truck. The motorcycle is dragged along the roadway as the truck continues forward, and the two women are run over by the vehicle.
Local reporting states that the motorcycle was dragged approximately five meters from the initial point of impact. The two women sustained fatal crushing injuries and died at the scene.
The footage provides direct visual evidence of the collision, the motorcycle being dragged and the truck running over the victims. It does not, however, establish why the collision occurred, which driver had the right of way, whether speed contributed to the crash or whether either vehicle had a mechanical problem.
The available video also does not provide a sufficient basis to determine the actions of either driver immediately before the vehicles entered the camera's view. No conclusion about fault can therefore be drawn from the recorded segment alone.
Reports about the crash consistently describe three people traveling on the motorcycle at the time of the collision. Two were adult women, described as a mother and grandmother, while the third was a child who survived. No verified information establishing the child's medical condition after the crash was available.
The names and ages of the victims were not included because they could not be established from a sufficiently reliable primary record. The identity of the box-truck driver was also not verified through an official public statement.
No verified police bulletin, public accident report or other primary authority document concerning this specific May 16 crash was located during the review of available material. There was also no sufficiently reliable later information establishing an arrest, criminal charge, traffic citation, mechanical finding or final determination of responsibility.
The crash occurred in the Losari area of Cirebon Regency in West Java. SPBU Losari is located along the busy road corridor through the district, where motorcycles, passenger vehicles and commercial trucks share the roadway.
The published CCTV recording preserves the central facts that can be established visually: a motorcycle carrying the victims was involved in a collision with a large white box truck, the motorcycle was dragged, and the truck ran over the two women. Reporting from the scene identifies the fatalities as the child's mother and grandmother and states that the child survived.
