"Gaga Muhammad has been examined, has revealed everything, and he also expressed regret for the incident and apologized. Indeed, he was at fault and careless because when he was tired, he still insisted on driving the car," said Fahmi.

"So, he momentarily lost consciousness or, in other words, he fell asleep momentarily. Consequently, when he opened his eyes, there was a sudden car in front of him, and instead of stepping on the brake, he accidentally stepped on the accelerator, causing the car to be thrown like that," Fahmi concluded.
