Kapanlagi.com - The start of 2025 became a dark moment with a series of tragic accidents that claimed many lives. In less than a month, three major incidents struck various locations, from Cipularang Toll Road, Batu City, to Ciawi Toll Gate. The causes of these accidents varied, ranging from a truck unable to ascend to a tourist bus experiencing brake failure.
The first accident occurred on Cipularang Toll Road KM 97+200, when a truck suddenly reversed on a slope and collided with five other vehicles. A few days later, in Batu City, a tourist bus carrying a group of students experienced brake failure and crashed into dozens of vehicles. The most heartbreaking incident occurred at Ciawi Toll Gate, where a truck carrying water gallons crashed into the toll building, claiming eight lives.
These three accidents attracted public attention, especially because they involved large vehicles and had widespread impacts. So, what is the chronology of these accidents? Check out the complete information compiled by Kapanlagi.com on Wednesday (5/2).
A shocking chain accident occurred on the Cipularang Toll Road KM 97+200 towards Bandung at 09:11 WIB, involving five vehicles, including a truck, a bus, a travel car, and two private minibuses.
The incident began when a truck driving on an uphill lane suddenly lost power and uncontrollably reversed, crashing into the vehicles behind it and triggering a chain collision.
Although this incident caused panic, fortunately, there were no fatalities, although two people sustained injuries and were immediately rushed to Abdul Rodjak Hospital in Purwakarta for treatment. Traffic was temporarily disrupted but resumed smoothly after all vehicles were successfully evacuated to the roadside.
"There were no fatalities due to this incident, and based on preliminary data, there are two injured victims who have been evacuated to Abdul Rodjak Hospital in Purwakarta for further treatment," said Senior Manager of Representative Office 3 Jasamarga Metropolitan Tollroad Regional Division Plaza Tol Pasteur, Bandung, Agni Mayvinna, as reported by Liputan6.
A tourist bus accident in Batu City.
On the dark night of January 8, 2025, a tourist bus carrying a group of students from SMK TI Bali Global Badung was involved in a tragic accident on Imam Bonjol Street, Batu City, precisely on a steep downhill road.
According to initial investigation results, the bus experienced brake failure, causing the driver to lose control. This large vehicle sped forward without braking, crashing into six cars and ten motorcycles before finally coming to a stop. The moments of the accident were captured by CCTV cameras at the location and went viral on social media.
As a result of the accident, four people died at the scene, while one person sustained serious injuries and nine others suffered minor injuries. The police are still investigating the technical condition of the bus as well as other factors that triggered this accident.
"Suddenly it crashed into several vehicles in front of it, as if the brakes had failed. From what I saw, there were four cars hit and two motorcycles involved," said Kusnari, a local resident and eyewitness to the incident, quoting ANTARA.
Dirlantas Polda Jatim Kombes Pol Komarudin revealed that the evidence of the bus's brake failure is becoming stronger because no signs of braking were found on the asphalt around the accident site.
"So, it is quite steep, and without any braking, it would certainly have fatal consequences for the vehicles in front," he said, quoted from ANTARA.

The dark night of February 5, 2025, witnessed a tragic accident at the Ciawi Toll Gate, when a giant truck carrying mineral water gallons sped out of control due to brake failure.
In an instant, the large vehicle crashed into the toll gate building, destroying the e-toll transaction post and dragging several cars that were making payments. Flames engulfed three vehicles, while others sustained severe damage.
According to Bogor City Police Chief Kombes Eko Prasetyo, the accident caused damage to several vehicles involved, leading to fires. As a result of the accident, 8 victims were declared dead and 11 suffered serious injuries.
"It is suspected that the vehicle experienced brake failure, causing it to collide with a series of vehicles that were making transactions (e-toll payments), three vehicles were destroyed by fire, while three others were damaged," Eko said as quoted by ANTARA.
In an effort to uncover the mystery behind the accident that occurred, the police are using an advanced method called Traffic Accident Analysis (TAA), which allows them to digitally reconstruct the events and identify the factors causing the accident.
In the tragic incident in Batu City, initial analysis showed no signs of braking, further strengthening the suspicion that the bus's braking system had completely failed.
Meanwhile, on the Cipularang Toll Road, the investigative team conducted a thorough examination of the truck that experienced a power failure while climbing. The investigation at the Ciawi Toll Gate also involved checking vehicle maintenance documents and the operational feasibility test of the truck.
The final results of this investigation will be published after all data has been collected, providing hope to understand the causes of this distressing accident.
A series of accidents that have occurred recently serves as an alarm for all drivers and related parties to be more vigilant while driving, especially on high-risk routes.
To prevent the recurrence of similar incidents, several crucial steps need to be taken, such as conducting routine inspections on heavy vehicles—particularly on the braking system and engine power—before embarking on long journeys.
In addition, the implementation of additional safety systems, such as escape lanes on steep descents, is highly recommended to anticipate vehicles that may lose control.
Education for drivers regarding driving techniques on challenging terrains and emergency procedures in the event of system failures is also equally important.
The police and toll road managers are also committed to evaluating routes known to have high risks. With these measures, it is hoped that similar incidents can be minimized in the future.
The main cause of accidents on the Cipularang Toll Road is trucks that are unable to climb and eventually roll back, colliding with five vehicles behind them.
The bus accident in Batu City resulted in four fatalities, one person seriously injured, and nine others with minor injuries.
The accident at the Ciawi Toll Gate was fatal because a truck experienced brake failure and crashed into the toll building as well as vehicles that were conducting e-toll transactions.
Prevention can be achieved through regular vehicle maintenance, improving road safety systems, and educating drivers of heavy vehicles.
