What happened

Mauliza and Rosi Kalita, both 13 and residents of Gampong Ie Jerneh, were riding a Honda Scoopy when a black Mitsubishi Xpander (licence plate BK 1244 ABM), travelling from Subulussalam toward Tapaktuan, struck them. The impact threw both girls from the motorcycle; they suffered fatal injuries and died.

According to preliminary police information, the Xpander driver is suspected of having been drowsy at the wheel. Personnel from the traffic law-enforcement unit (Gakkum) of the South Aceh police attended the scene to investigate, and police are coordinating with Jasa Raharja, the state accident insurer.

South Aceh police traffic chief AKP Aiyub expressed condolences to the families and urged all road users to stay focused while driving, never drive when exhausted, obey traffic rules and adjust speed to road conditions.

If you drive routes like this

• Never drive drowsy — fatigue slows reactions as much as alcohol; rest before long trips
• On two-lane national roads, treat every overtake as the highest-risk moment of the trip
• Watch for motorcycles: they are harder to see, especially at junctions and in low light
• Young riders should wear certified helmets, properly fastened, on every trip
• Know the local emergency number before you travel — our emergency numbers directory covers every country

What happens next

Police normally publish a confirmed casualty count within 24 to 48 hours once the injured are counted and victims identified. A crash investigation follows: vehicle condition, speed, driver hours and road condition. Families of victims are usually entitled to compensation under the country's motor insurance or accident-compensation rules.
