Train Hits ‘Odong-odong’, Nine People Killed
Apart from the odong-odong issue, many railway crossings in Banten are still not equipped with gates.
TANGERANG, KOMPAS – Nine people were killed and 22 others were injured when a train crashed into an odong-odong amusement ride at a railway crossing without a gate in Silebu village, Kragilan district, Serang regency, Banten, on Tuesday (26/7/ 2022).
Odong-odong, minibuses modified into amusement rides for children in lower-income areas, are actually prohibited from entering public roads. Vehicle-train collisions often occur as many railway crossings in the country are not equipped with gates.
