The 13-year-old son of well-known musician Ahmad Dhani was driving at 176 kilometers per hour before he lost control of the car his father had given him and crashed into oncoming traffic.
"The team at Mitsubishi took the chip from [Abdul Qodir Jaelani's] car and analyzed it in Japan," Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rikwanto said. "Two seconds before the car lost control, the speed was 176 km per hour."
Abdul Qodir Jaelani was driving a Mitsubishi Lancer sedan on the Jagorawi toll road between Bogor and Jakarta at 1:45 a.m. on Sept. 8 when he lost control before braking through the toll-road divider and hitting oncoming traffic.
Rikwanto said the accident was caused after Abdul's friend, Novi, startled him by telling him to slow down. Abdul then applied the brakes too aggressively, which caused him to lose control of the car.
Police have yet to talk with Abdul about the incident because he remains in convalescence at his family home.
"AQJ's condition is weak and he is still in bed," Rikwanto said. "He is still in pain, mainly around his waist and back."
Police are due to receive an assessment from Abdul's doctor on Monday, after which they will make a decision whether or not is appropriate to talk with the boy.
The case provoked a sense of outrage among many Indonesians after Ahmad Dhani sought to apportion some of the blame to the government and the highway operator for the crash, rather than accept that it was inappropriate that a father give their 13-year-old child a powerful car to drive at 1:45 in the morning.
