Dream - Tourist bus carrying a group of students from SMK Lingga Kencana Depok had an accident in Ciater District, Subang Regency, West Java. The incident occurred when the bus was on its way back to Depok after touring the Bandung area. The death toll in the incident reached 11 people, consisting of 10 students and a teacher, as well as one motorcycle rider. The tragic incident took place on Saturday night, May 11, 2024.

Feeling safe, the bus then continued its journey. However, halfway through the journey, the condition of the brakes became problematic again until they eventually stopped working. The malfunctioning brakes also affected the gear shifting. "Yes, so at that time. So it was difficult for me to shift gears, when there was wind it became difficult to shift gears," he said.

Meanwhile, Okto, one of the students of SMK Lingga Kencana who participated in the trip, said that since the beginning of the departure, one of the buses had indeed encountered difficulties. However, the three rented buses still departed towards the farewell location. "From the beginning, this bus (bus 1) has been problematic, always at the back of the road," he testified, quoted from Merdeka.com on Sunday, May 12, 2024.

The news was known because a student sent a voice recording to the group and asked for help. Then another student sent a voice recording to his friend, informing him that the bus had an accident. "There is a victim in bus 1 who sent a voice note to the group asking for help because the bus had an accident. There is also a student who sent a voice note to her boyfriend asking for help," he said.
