Tragedy Strikes TvOne: A Comedic Look at a Somber Incident
Well, folks, we’ve got quite the story tonight, and it’s about as cheery as a rainy Tuesday in November. I mean, really, who does traffic accidents do better than a bad sitcom? Just ask the crew from TvOne, who recently found themselves at the wrong end of a box truck on the Pemalang Toll Road in Central Java.
A Comedy of Errors
It all started rather cheerfully on Thursday morning (31/10) at around 06:45 WIB. There they were, the talented crew, ready to report the news—until, bam! A Rosalia box truck thought it would make a delightful game of bumper cars with their vehicle. Spoiler alert: it didn’t end well.
The Grim Details
This unfortunate incident resulted in not one, not two, but three fatalities. Yes, you heard that right! Alwan Syahmidi (41), Marwan (51), and their driver, Sunardi (48), had their morning interrupted in the most tragic of ways. As Taufan Eko Nugroho, the Main Director of TvOne eloquently put it, “God willing, they will be taken to their respective funeral homes.” And let’s face it; it’s not what anyone plans for when they set out for the day.
Now, if you’re wondering about the culprit, the box truck driver claimed he was simply trying to dodge a vehicle swerving in front of him! It’s like a scene from an over-the-top action film, except in this version, there are no heroes, only unwelcome destinies.
Last Respects
The bodies were first taken to the Al Ikhas Islamic Hospital Pemalang before making their final journey back to Jakarta, where a ceremony awaited them. That’s right—Taufan confirmed they would stop by the TvOne office before heading to their final resting places. What a lovely final workplace outing, eh? Talk about a team bonding experience gone awry!
A Community in Mourning
It appears the entire TvOne team will gather to honor their fallen colleagues, but let’s be honest, when life hands you a car crash, do you really send out an office memo? “Hey, folks, gather around for prayers; two of us won’t be coming back from lunch!” Talk about an awkward water cooler conversation!
Looking Forward
As Taufan said, expressing his regrets about meeting Sunardi’s family due to timing conflicts: “We also want to meet Mr. Sunardi’s relatives, but we have to go to Jakarta.” It’s a classic case of being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Or as I like to call it—between mourning and rush hour traffic.
In Conclusion
This tragedy serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of life, especially on the roads. So, while we might chuckle through the absurdity of it all, it’s crucial we reflect on the lives lost and the families affected. Alwan, Marwan, and Sunardi were part of a community that has been shaken, and they deserve our respect and condolences.
Keep those seatbelts fastened, folks, because you never know when life’s going to take a sharp turn!

Pemalang –
In a tragic incident on the Pemalang Toll Road in Central Java, two crew members from TvOne, identified as Alwan Syahmidi (41) and Marwan (51), lost their lives in a severe accident. These individuals were transported back to Jakarta this evening, following arrangements for the formal procession of respect before their bodies are taken to the funeral home. As a poignant tribute, the bodies will first be taken to the TvOne office for a final farewell.
During a somber moment outside the Al Ikhas Islamic Hospital in Pemalang, the Main Director of TvOne, Taufan Eko Nugroho, addressed the media, stating, “Especially for the late Pak Marwan and Alwan, God willing, after this they will immediately (be taken) to Jakarta to Pulo Gadung, the TvOne office.”
Taufan further conveyed that the subsequent prayers for Marwan and Alwan would be organized with TvOne employees, allowing colleagues to pay their respects collectively. After the prayers, the bodies will then be released to their grieving families in Depok and Bekasi, where they will be laid to rest.
Another victim of the incident, 48-year-old Sunardi, who served as the driver for the crew, will be promptly taken to his hometown in Magetan, East Java. “God willing, Mr. Sunardi, the driver of the crew where the collision occurred, will be sent to Magetan. His relatives are waiting there,” Taufan added, expressing a desire to meet with Sunardi’s family at a later time due to the circumstances.
This horrific accident occurred early Thursday morning, specifically around 06:45 WIB, when the TvOne crew’s vehicle was severely damaged after being struck by a Rosalia box truck on the Pemalang-Batang toll road at Km 315 Line A.
The devastating collision resulted in three fatalities and left two individuals injured. Reports indicate that the TvOne crew’s Avanza vehicle, bearing the plate number B 1048 DKG, was stopped on the shoulder of the road when it was struck from behind by the box truck.
Kombes Artanto, the Head of Public Relations for the Central Java Regional Police, elaborated on the circumstances surrounding the crash. He revealed that the box truck driver had swerved to avoid a vehicle that suddenly changed lanes. In a dire twist of fate, this maneuver led to the truck colliding with the TvOne crew’s vehicle that was legally parked at the roadside.
