Jakarta (Antara Bali) - AS (29) was driving under the influence of drugs when she hit 12 people and killed nine of them at Tugu Tani, Central Jakarta, on Sunday (Jan 22), a Jakarta police spokesman said.
"The results of urine tests on her and her three friends in the car show they had taken meth," Jakarta Police spokesman Rikhwanto said here on Monday.
According to several witnesses at the scene and information from the driver herself, she was driving at a speed of 100 km per hour, he said.
When police questioned her after the accident AS proved not to have a driver's license (SIM) nor could she produce the car's registration certificate (STNK).
"AS had been driving without a SIM nor an STNK," Adjunct Senior Commissioner Sudarmanto of the Jakarta Police's Traffic Directorate, said on Sunday.
Eight pedestrians were killed on the spot and another died in hospital after being struck by the Daihatsu Xenia mini on Jln MI Ridwan Rais, Gambir, Central Jakarta, on Sunday morning.
Those killed included Moch Hudzaifah alias Ujay (16), Firmansyah (21), Suyatmi (51), Yusuf Sigit (2.5), Ari (16), Nanik Riyanti (25), Fifit Alfia Fitriasih (18), and Muhammad Akbar (23). Another person, a 17-year-old male whose identify was unknown, also died in the accident.(T007)
