Jakarta, ThedailyID — A bus carrying an Umrah pilgrimage group crashed on Jalan Raya Nagreg, Bandung Regency, West Java, early Friday (August 14, 2026).
One passenger, identified as LS, 52, died at the scene. The crash occurred in Kampung Paslon, Ciherang Village, about two kilometers from Nagreg Junction.
Bandung Police Traffic Unit investigator Iptu Lilim confirmed that the bus carried a group of women who had just completed their Umrah pilgrimage.
“Yes, it was a single-vehicle accident. It happened at around 1 a.m. Yes, it was an Umrah group bus,” Lilim said, according to detikJabar.
The bus, registered as B-7858-ZAA, was traveling from Bandung toward Tasikmalaya when the accident occurred.
