The young man carried the bamboo pole horizontally, effectively blocking the entire road. The pole's thin and low profile meant the motorcyclist did not see it in time and collided directly with it. The impact threw the victim from their bike, causing them to fall onto the road.
The accident occurred on 5/3 in Takalar district, South Sulawesi province. Fortunately, no other vehicles were approaching. The victim stood up, hunched over, and moved to the roadside.
The incident drew widespread criticism, with many expressing outrage over the young man's actions. Public discourse also highlighted concerns about traffic awareness and safety standards for transporting goods on public roads. Critics pointed out numerous instances of vehicles carrying long items, such as bamboo poles, without proper securing, warnings, or visible markers for other road users to identify and avoid.
