AIESEC UNDIP - On Friday, September 2nd 2011, 12 Exchange Participants were going to Mount Bromo by two cars with Surya Tour and Travel Agency. On the way to Mount Bromo, one of the cars had an accident in Sragen at 4 AM. The car hit a truck that stopped in front of Harmony Supermarket, Jalan Raya Sukowati, when the truck was going to turn right. The driver passed away in this accident, 3 Exchange Participants have serious injuries, 3 other Exchange Participants have minor injuries, and 2 local citizens have minor injuries.

Planning to have a vacation in Mount Bromo in this Eid holiday, misery came to our Exchange Participants. Leaving with two cars at 2 AM from Semarang, the driver was sleepy during the ride and drove at a high speed. One of the two cars, driven by Mr. Mujiyana Prasetya (40 years old), hit a truck carrying ice cubes that had stopped to turn right at the three way junction in front of Harmony Supermarket. The victims were directly brought to a nearby hospital and unfortunately, the driver passed away in the hospital.

Exchange Participants that got serious injuries are Sophia Reimann (20 years old) from Germany, who got fractures in her left leg, Bartosz S. (22 years old) from Poland got injured in his backbone, and Liu Biyin (22 years old) from China had bleeding in his vital organs. Now, they are being hospitalized in Elisabeth Hospital, Semarang. Marie (22 years old) in Germany, Candy (22 years old) from China, and Sandra (20 years old) from Germany are safe.

Now, all of the Exchange Participants who got serious injuries are getting medical treatment in the hospital and they need your support and prayers for their recovery. No need to worry about this situation.
