The wave of victory celebrations turned into a medical emergency after dozens of supporters suffered accidents and serious injuries at various points in Bandung City, from Sunday (17/5/2026) night until Monday (18/5/2026) early morning. The Public Safety Center (PSC) of the Bandung City Health Office recorded at least 27 people as victims due to a series of traffic accidents and mass disturbances during the convoy.

The Head of the PSC of the Bandung City Health Office revealed that 13 victims were in serious to critical condition and had to be referred to nine different hospitals. Meanwhile, 14 other victims received immediate treatment at the scene by field medical teams that had been on standby since the celebration began.

Throughout the night, ambulance fleets and PSC motorcycle ambulances moved non-stop, sweeping through main roads crowded with supporter masses. Officers recorded at least 20 major incidents within 12 hours, from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM local time, with the majority of cases involving two-wheeled vehicle accidents.

The Pasupati Flyover became one of the most dangerous points during the convoy. Within less than an hour, four major accidents occurred in succession in that area, causing several victims to suffer fractures and head injuries from hard impacts on the road.

In addition to traffic accidents, officers also handled mass disturbances that broke out in the Ujungberung area around 1:55 AM local time.

“Clashes between supporter groups left one person with bruises before security forces managed to control the situation at the scene,” said the official on Monday (18/5/2026).

The PSC found that some riders participating in the convoy were under the influence of alcohol. One case occurred on Soekarno-Hatta Street, where a motorcyclist had a single-vehicle accident after allegedly consuming alcohol before hitting the road.

Hasan Sadikin Hospital (RSHS) Bandung became one of the referral hospitals receiving the most victims with serious injuries.

“Some patients even arrived at the Emergency Room unconscious due to hard impacts to the head during the convoy,” he said.

The public was reminded to prioritize safety when celebrating the victory of their beloved team.

Supporters were urged to obey traffic rules, use safety gear, and avoid reckless driving to prevent the celebration from turning into a tragedy on the roads.

Opened in 2017, it was built to alleviate traffic congestion and features a distinctive design with a curved section that passes close to the temple complex.
