Two Dead After Plane Hits Motorcycle
The Indonesian Ministry of Transportation launched an investigation on Monday after a training aircraft landing at the Curug Airport in Tangerang hit a motorcycle and killed its two passengers who may have been using the runway as a short-cut.
The two occupants of the Socata TB-10 Tobago training aircraft were injured and have been rushed to Siloam Hospital in Karawaci for treatment.
Darwis Amini, chairman of the Indonesian Aviation Institute (STPI) in Curug, said that the single-engine plane was landing when the motorcycle drove across the runway.
“It is illegal for motorcycles to enter the runway,” he said.
The driver and his passenger were killed instantly, he said.
Ministry of Transportation spokesman Bambang Ervan said that bikers often used the runway as a shortcut, even though it was illegal to do so.
“There are wire fences and gutters installed around the airport,” Bambang said, “but people still manage to find ways to break in.”
