Inp.polri.go.id - Palembang. Dense wildfire haze reduced visibility on the Palembang–Indralaya (Palindra) Toll Road in South Sumatra, triggering a multi-vehicle collision on Saturday (5/9/2026).

The morning accident involved an ALS intercity bus and a DAMRI bus traveling toward Indralaya at 06.30 am local time, injuring 14 passengers. No fatalities were reported.

Emergency responders transferred six injured victims to Arroyan Hospital, six to RSMH Palembang hospital, and two to Tanjung Senai Hospital for medical treatment.

"We urge drivers to exercise extreme caution on toll roads during hazy conditions," said Ogan Ilir Sub-regional Police Chief Superintendent Rizka Aprianti. "Drivers feeling fatigued or sleepy should pull over at rest areas to prevent further accidents."

Ogan Ilir Traffic Police officers conducted on-site investigations and interviewed involved drivers to determine the precise cause of the collision.
