A devastating fire engulfed a bus traveling on the Wiyoto Wiyono toll road in Indonesia, leaving at least one person dead and several injured. The incident occurred after the bus's engine was accidentally ignited, reportedly due to a malfunctioning electrical system.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic, with flames shooting out of the vehicle's windows and passengers scrambling to escape. Emergency responders were quick to arrive on the scene, but not before the fire had spread significantly.
"It was like something out of a nightmare," said one witness, who wished to remain anonymous. "The bus was just engulfed in flames, and people were running around trying to get away."
The toll road, which connects Jakarta to Bandung, is a major transportation artery for Indonesia's capital city. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of buses traveling on the route.
"This is a wake-up call for us," said a transportation official. "We need to take steps to ensure that our roads are safe and that our buses meet international safety standards."
The fire was finally brought under control after firefighters arrived at the scene, but not before the bus had suffered significant damage. An investigation into the cause of the fire is currently underway.
The incident highlights the importance of regular maintenance and inspections of vehicles on Indonesia's busy roads. As one official noted, "You can't just rely on luck to keep you safe. We need to take proactive steps to prevent incidents like this from happening."
