Jakarta –
Flooding hit Bandung Street, Cinere, after heavy rain this morning. A Daihatsu Xenia car almost got swept away after driving through the flood.
The flood occurred on Monday (April 20, 2026) at 06:00 AM local time on the Cinere-Pondok Cabe connecting road, specifically on Lereng Indah Street and Bandung Street, Cinere, Depok. The overflow of the Pesanggrahan River made the connecting road impassable.
“Bandung Street, Cinere, Depok City, due to the overflow of the Pesanggrahan River, has made the Cinere-Pondok Cabe connecting road impassable,” said the Head of Public Relations of the Depok Metro Police, AKP Made Budi, in a statement on Monday (April 20).
A Daihatsu Xenia car attempted to cross the road. At that time, the water level was not yet high, but it caused the car’s engine to stall.
“And there was one white Daihatsu Xenia car with license plate B-1997-WGZ, driven by Mr. N (an online taxi driver), who attempted to cross the road (at that time the water was not yet high, and the car’s engine died),” he said.
The car was evacuated by officers from the Cinere Police Sector, Fire Department, and local residents at around 08:00 AM local time. There were no casualties in the incident.
