| Hit-and-Run Suspect Arrested in Bireuen: Trucker Caught After Fatal Accident on Medan–Banda Aceh Road. |
A shocking hit-and-run case in Bireuen, Aceh has finally been solved. Police have arrested a suspect identified by the initials Haji L, who allegedly fled after fatally hitting a woman on the Medan–Banda Aceh Highway, near Pulo Village in Peudada District.
The tragic incident sparked public outcry, but thanks to the tireless efforts of local law enforcement, justice is finally within reach.
Suspect Arrested Peacefully at Home
According to Bireuen Police Traffic Unit Head, Iptu Aditia, the suspect was apprehended at his residence without resistance. Officers also seized the truck used in the crash as evidence.
“Thanks to the hard work of our officers and support from the victim's family and the public, we successfully arrested the suspect,” said Iptu Aditia on Thursday (June 19, 2025).
Praise from Aceh Traffic Police Chief
The operation received praise from the Director of Traffic at the Aceh Police Department, Kombes Pol. Iqbal Alqudusy, who emphasized the commitment of the police in solving road crime cases.
“On behalf of the Aceh Police Chief, I want to express our appreciation to Bireuen Traffic Police for solving a hit-and-run case once again. This proves the police’s seriousness in carrying out their duties,” said Kombes Pol. Iqbal.
This marks the second successful resolution of a hit-and-run case by the Bireuen Police in a short period.
A Wake-Up Call for All Drivers
This case is a stark reminder to all drivers: safety and responsibility on the road are non-negotiable. Hit-and-run incidents are not only cowardly but also criminal. If you are involved in an accident, the right thing to do is to stop, assist the victim, and report the incident to the authorities.
Fleeing the scene only adds legal consequences and shows a lack of humanity.
Community’s Role Was Key
The breakthrough in this case wouldn't have happened without help from the community—especially the victim's family and nearby witnesses. Their information was crucial in identifying and locating the suspect quickly.
This highlights how important it is for the public to be involved in maintaining safety and justice on our roads.
Let’s Stay Safe Out There
Let this be a lesson for all of us. Always drive with caution, especially on major roads like the Medan–Banda Aceh route. Follow traffic laws, slow down in residential areas, and always wear safety gear like seatbelts and helmets.
It only takes a moment of negligence to change someone’s life forever.
