Fatal traffic accidents have been reported in the East Java regions of Gresik and Surabaya.

In Gresik, a vehicle known as an ‘odong-odong’ reportedly suffered a brake failure on Jalan Raya Boboh, causing it to veer into oncoming traffic and strike two motorcycles. The collision resulted in one death and two injuries.

In Surabaya, a separate incident involving a motorcyclist attempting to overtake another vehicle led to a fatal collision with two pedestrians on a zebra cross, killing an 82-year-old man. The defendant in that case is facing trial for negligence.
