Iron Block Falls at Apartment Project Site in S. Jakarta,
Killing One
An iron block from the Pasar Rumput Rusunawa (low-cost
apartment) construction site in South Jakarta fell on Sunday
morning, killing a woman.
Witness Nurhayati, who sells staple food near the project
site, told The Jakarta Post that Tarminah, 54, was wearing blue
head-scarf when passing in front of her shop before the accident
happened.
“I can’t remember the details. I immediately closed my shop
and returned home when people started to crowd the area,” she
said, adding that Tarminah was rushed to Cipto Mangunkusumo
Hospital in Central Jakarta.
The accident happened at 9:25 a.m. when suddenly an iron block
fell from the construction site and hit her on the head.
M. Dopi, a community unit head in the area, said Tarminah was
hit by a three-meter-long iron block and died at the scene.
“Several police officers appeared at the site soon after the
incident occurred. Tarminah was immediately rushed to Cipto
Mangunkusumo Hospital [in Central Jakarta] and the iron block
[that hit Tarminah] was taken to Setiabudi police station,” Dopi
said as quoted by Kompas.com.
The Pasar Rumput low-cost apartment construction project has
been halted for investigation. The project developer, state-
owned construction firm PT Waskita Karya, has apologized for the
accident.
People at the scene covered the spot where Tarminah was killed
with newspapers and blocks of wood.
