A 56-year-old ride-hailing driver, identified as Hasan Syukur (HS), remains hospitalized after being struck and run over by an electric BYD vehicle in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, on Friday, October 23, 2026. The collision, which occurred at 4:48 p.m. on Jalan Panglima Polim, resulted in severe injuries for the driver, including a fractured left leg, according to police reports.
Sequence of the South Jakarta Collision
The incident began when the BYD vehicle, driven by a 46-year-old man identified by initials S, struck a Honda Brio moving in the same direction, according to Kasi Laka Subdit Gakkum Ditlantas Polda Metro Jaya, Kompol Kharisma Arbita Bangsa. Following the initial contact, the BYD swerved to the left, hitting the Honda Beat motorcycle operated by Hasan Syukur, followed by a Wuling vehicle stopped on the side of the road. The BYD then mounted a sidewalk, striking two additional parked cars near the Amaris Hotel.
Witnesses at the scene, including a resident named Afan, reported that the driver attempted to flee the location after hitting the victim but was prevented from doing so by the surrounding traffic and the damaged vehicles. "He wanted to escape because he was already on the sidewalk. Other motorcycle taxis were already chasing him," Afan told Suara.com.
Medical Condition of the Victim
Hasan Syukur, a resident of Ciomas, Serang, underwent surgery at Fatmawati Hospital on Saturday, October 24, to address his injuries.
