Family of three dies in car plunge at Jakarta shopping center
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta
A family of three died Thursday when their car plunged from the sixth level of a parking garage at the Permata Hijau International Trade Center in Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta, where they had attended a church service for the Ascension Day of Jesus Christ.
The deceased have been identified as Topan Rusli, 45, his wife Trisna Priyatna, 41, and their son Samuel, 12.
The three died instantly when their black Honda Jazz, driven by Trisna, crashed through a concrete boundary at around noon and plunged six floors to the ground.
Acquaintances said the three, residents of Kemandoran, Grogol Utara, West Jakarta, were coming from a prayer service at a church located on the seventh floor of the trade center.
Officials are still trying to determine exactly why or how the car broke through the barrier. There were no witnesses to the accident.
"We are not sure what happened because nobody was there (on the sixth level) when the car plunged to the ground floor," said Hendrikus, a building security officer.
He said he was at his security post, near the entrance to the complex, when he heard a loud crash as the vehicle smashed into the ground.
"I went to check the noise and saw the car was destroyed and the three passengers badly injured. They were already dead, but I did not know that yet."
Rescuers worked more than two hours to remove the bodies from the wreckage. The bodies were later taken to Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital in Central Jakarta for autopsy.
Several people at the scene speculated that Trisna lost control of the vehicle as she attempted to navigate a sharp turn.
"One churchgoer said Trisna was still learning how to drive. She might have panicked as she took the turn and hit the gas instead of the brake, causing the car to burst through the boundary wall," said one security officer, who asked that his name not be used.
The management of the shopping complex said they did not know how the accident might have occurred.
"We do not believe the accident was the result of negligence on our part, as everything (in the parking area) has been properly installed," said Jhony Liem, general affairs manager of ITC Permata Hijau.
He said lane dividers were clearly visible on the pavement, and concrete boundaries had been properly installed.
Jhony said this was the first serious accident to take place in the parking structure. He said the building management would await the police report before commenting further on the accident.
:eek: :eek: :eek:
How the heck does something like that happen? Can barely recognise the car... Looks like it landed on its tail...
wow... that is really amazing... yet scary... the shopping centre must be in deep trouble... urgh... this is freaky.
damn thats a really fucked up way to go...i feel sorry for that family.

SHEATS Man. Thats a bad sad thing. :((
wow thats really sad :eek3: :( :((
Dam that friggen sucks. What a horrible way to meet your end. I really feel sorry for that family. I wonder what the hell happened.....and why.
lol... a new crash test required for each car... a jump of 6 storeys.
hmm how about trying that with a supra? it has so much plastic, it will be the size of a suitcase when it comes down! :p
- Rick.
Oh come off it... a Supra is a good car, stock or riced. Although the stock ones are better
Well Supra is heavy. SO if it falls from the six storey building, there will be a big hole on the ground where it falls. :p
At least they all died.
whaddya mean "at least"???!!!!
I mean it would suck if one of them lived.
the more i think about it... that's really true... btw... i love all tuners... but keep em stock and i'll love you more lol... and scrap the crash test idea.
actually it might be true that a riced car might be more invulvable than a stock car lol.
- Rick.
Whoa,thats a way up there on the shopping complex....Looks like a Fear Factor or something if their Honda Jazz plunged six floors at Jakarta shopping center.Whoa thats scary.:eek3:
haha... a riced car would have such HUGE bumpers and hoods and spoilers and roof scoops... that the driver would probably still be safe if he jumped a couple floors and flipped haha
