Wuling EV crashes into truck and TransJakarta bus in North Jakarta

On Tuesday morning, a Wuling Binguo EV crashed into two vehicles on the Wiyoto Wiyono toll road in Ancol, North Jakarta.

Police said the driver, a 31-year-old man, lost focus while reaching for an e-Toll card that had fallen onto the car floor.

The car first hit a stopped container truck, then swerved into a lane and struck a moving TransJakarta bus.

The driver suffered a head injury and was taken to Hermina Sunter Hospital.

All three vehicles were damaged, with the Wuling badly crushed; the truck's rear axle broke, and the bus had damage to its left side.

The crash briefly caused traffic congestion, which eased after the injured driver and vehicles were removed.
