JAKARTA, LITERASIHUKUM.COM – Ani Maryati (51), a housewife from Pegadungan, Kalideres, West Jakarta, died tragically on Friday (3/4/2026) at 07.30 WIB on Jalan Hutan Jati (Utan Jati), near Pasar Segar. The victim, who was riding pillion with her friend Kartini on a Honda motorcycle with license plate Number B-4833-BWM, was hit by the second truck in a convoy of five TNI trucks transporting students, thrown to the right side of the road, and run over by the truck's tires, resulting in severe head injuries.

Chronology of Events

The chronology began when a convoy of TNI trucks sped from the Citra 6 Complex towards Jalan Raya Utan Jati. The first truck passed without incident. However, when the second truck arrived in front of the Pasar Segar area, Ani Maryati and Kartini, who had just left the market and had tried to pull their motorbike to the side of the road, were hit by the rear of the truck. Ani was thrown off and immediately run over, while Kartini survived with minor injuries. Eyewitness Firman said he heard a loud crash, followed by panic from residents who tried to provide first aid. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene due to serious head injuries.

Reactions from Family and Residents

The convoy of trucks stopped briefly after the incident, but then continued its journey without providing further assistance. The atmosphere became even more tense when Ani Maryati's husband arrived at the scene. He cried hysterically while shouting "Allahu Akbar!" repeatedly and collapsed, unable to bear seeing his wife's body lying in a pool of blood on the side of the road, a scene that made the surrounding residents panic and feel touched.

Handling by Authorities

Police from the Traffic Accident Unit of the West Jakarta Metro Police, together with the Military Police Detachment (Denpom/POM) of the TNI, jointly processed the crime scene (TKP). Officers examined tire tracks, vehicle positions, collected witness statements including Firman's, and requested CCTV footage around the location. The body was evacuated to Tangerang Regional General Hospital for a *visum et repertum*. Currently, the case is still being handled as a general traffic accident, but it can be fully transferred to the TNI Denpom if it is proven to involve official vehicles.

From a legal aspect, the truck driver potentially faces charges under Article 311 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code (negligence causing death) *jo* Article 310 of the Criminal Code, as well as Article 77 and Article 310 of Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation, which prohibits speeding in densely populated residential areas. TNI personnel involved will first be examined by the TNI POM based on Law Number 31 of 1997 concerning Military Courts. If proven, the process can be continued to the Military Court or the District Court after coordination. Similar cases have occurred, such as the decision of the South Jakarta District Court in 2022 which sentenced the driver of an official vehicle for negligence causing death, with a prison sentence and compensation obligations.

Victim's Rights and Human Rights Aspects

The victim's family is entitled to restitution, compensation, and protection in accordance with Law Number 31 of 2014 concerning the Protection of Witnesses and Victims, as well as the state's responsibility for the negligence of officials based on Article 1365 of the Civil Code. From a Human Rights perspective, this event concerns the right to life (Article 28A) and the state's obligation to protect civilians from threats by officials. Transparency in the investigation process is crucial to avoid the perception of impunity, which could undermine public trust.

This event serves as an important lesson in public legal literacy regarding traffic safety and the rights of victims. Prevention recommendations include: (1) the implementation of strict Standard Operating Procedures for official TNI convoys, including a maximum speed limit of 40 km/hour in residential areas and the obligation of traffic escorts; (2) routine training in driving discipline for drivers of official vehicles; (3) the installation of speed cameras and warning signs on vulnerable routes such as Utan Jati; and (4) a rapid response mechanism requiring first aid for official convoys. The public is expected to remain calm while awaiting the official results, while the authorities are requested to communicate developments periodically and openly in order to maintain justice.
