JAKARTA: The Jakarta traffic police recorded 10 people died in traffic accidents in the city during the annual holiday exodus since Sept. 25.
"Most of the accidents happened to motorcyclists who were driving carelessly," Adj. Comr. Sunarto, an officer at the Traffic Management Center, said Friday.
Of the 39 victims, Sunarto said, 10 died and 25 were injured. The rest suffered financial losses from vehicle damage.
Sunarto said traffic monitors as of Friday still had not seen any signs of returning flow of holiday travelers.
"The bus and train stations are still relatively quiet today."
He said traffic congestion had only caused jams around recreation centers such as Ancol, North Jakarta; Ragunan Zoo, South Jakarta; and the cultural park Taman Mini Indonesia, East Jakarta.
It was estimated the influx of travelers would peak this weekend.
