Thread: Exotic ‘street-race’ damages lives in Surabaya

A tragic accident occurred in Surabaya, East Java, after a Lamborghini racing against a Ferrari in the street lost control and hit a middle-aged couple and another man on the Manyar-Kertoarjo road.

The Lamborghini hit Kuswanto (51), his wife Srikanti (41) and Mujianto (44), according to the police. The car dragged the Kuswanto’s body along for dozens of meters and then crashed into a tree.

"And a motorcycle, which was parked near the vendor, was heavily damaged in the crash," said Lily Djafar, a spokesperson at the Surabaya police station, as quoted by Kompas.com on Sunday.

Kuswanto and his wife Srikanti, both citizens of Kaliasin, a nearby village, were on the side of the road buying some bottles of milk from a street vendor.

Srikanti and Mujianto, the waiter at the vendor, sustained serious injuries and their legs were broken in the accident, Lily said.

The police have detained the driver of the Lamborghini, Wiyang Lautner (24), at Dukuh Kupang police station and launched a further investigation into the crash. (ags)

another little rich kid with a lawyer starting the clean up mess.

who is his father and where did he steal the money ?

It will be the same outcome as Thailand.

He will just pay off the families.

Way it works.

where is the angry mob when you need it ?

where's a panel beater when you need one.

apparently racing a Ferrari.

Nice to see the fuck knuckle trapped in the wreck.

The car's a write off. And so is the fuck knuckle who was driving it.

Too many people have some innate fear of those with money. Their heads still pop like watermelons when you club them with a nine iron.

That douche in the car seems more worried about his wrecked lambo than the bodies on the ground. Its a shame he didn't go through the windshield.

Lamborghini crash driver’s lawyer runs newspaper ad warning netizens/media not to spread negative news about his client

By[at]Coconuts Jakarta[at]December 4, 2015 /[at]11:40 WIB


By this point, you’ve probably seen the horrible video above, which depicts the moments after a horrific accident that took place last Sunday morning in Surabaya after 24-year-old Wiyang Lautner lost control of his Lamborghini, killing one and injuring two others. Wiyang can be seen calmly trying to text somebody on his phone as he hangs halfway out

By this point, you’ve probably seen the horrible video above, which depicts the moments after a horrific accident that took place last Sunday morning in Surabaya after 24-year-old Wiyang Lautner lost control of his Lamborghini, killing one and injuring two others. Wiyang can be seen calmly trying to text somebody on his phone as he hangs halfway out of the window of his wrecked supercar. [at][at]

While it is still not known who Wiyang was trying to reach, it is possible that he was trying to contact his lawyer, AMoz HZ Taka, who has quickly and very publicly come to the defense of his client. Yesterday, he took out an advertisement in the Jawa Pos newspaper arguing that Wiyang was not responsible for the crash and threatening to sue media outlets and social media users that spread negative news about his clients without evidence

The lawyer’s ad consists of four points. The first was that Wiyang was healthy and not under the influence of alcohol or drugs during the crash, as proven by laboratory tests done by the police after the crash.

The second is that the crash did not happen because Wiyang was racing somebody else, as was widely reported in the media.

The third point is that the accident happened because the Lamborghini’s right wheel skid due to the poor road conditions on the street the accident took place, which was also waterlogged.

The fourth point is that Wiyang and the victims had already reached an agreement that “the incident was very unfortunate.”

AMoz then goes on to warn media outlets, social media users and members of the community not to make or spread “negative news or statements that could be detrimental to his client without solid evidence,” and threatens to take legal action against those who do.

The ad ends with the lawyer thanking the Surabaya police for handling his client’s case professionally and fairly.[at]

AMoz makes a very strong case. Clearly the reason for the accident was because of the poor road conditions and not because of Wiyang’s reckless driving. We look forward to seeing his future criminal case against the city for its fatal failure to keep the city’s streets well-maintained enough for a Lamborghini, that is going at a reasonable and legal speed, not to go flying off the road and into several people.

And clearly there’s no way Wiyang was under the influence of any drugs or alcohol, since we know the police would never ever change the results of a test due to being bribed by an incredibly rich family.[at]

Good work AMoz, we’re sure that nobody will make any more unfair, negative statements about your client in the future

What an absolute kunt.

Deadly Lamborghini crash suspect sent to jail



After a week of mass uproar, the suspect in Surabaya’s fatal Lamborghini crash that killed one man and badly-injured two others, has been sent to prison while police conduct further investigations into the case.

Surabaya Police spokesperson Lily Djafar said that the suspect, with initials WL, was transferred from hospital to prison after undergoing identification, finger printing and a form-filling process. The police are only allowing him to leave jail for investigation purposes.

"All prisoners are treated indiscriminately, in accordance with procedure," said Lily to the press, as quoted by Antara news agency on Saturday.

The 24 years old suspect was transferred from the hospital in a patrol car. Having arrived at the police station, WL underwent the usual process for detainees, such as body inspection.

WL, a resident of Dharmahusada Surabaya, was involved in a car crash on the morning of Nov. 29, which took the life of Kuswanto, 41. The deceased’s wife, Srikanti, 41, was also injured along with Mujianto, 44, a street vendor of a traditional milk-based energy drink.

The Lamborghini, driven by WL, was reportedly speeding before losing control and hitting the vendor’s stall and the people around it. The police have been checking CCTV footage that purportedly shows a red Ferrari following the same route as the Lamborghini at around the same time.

Tribunnews.com reported, quoting an eyewitness, that the Lamborghini and the red Ferrari were seen at 5 a.m. in front of a KFC outlet, around 500 meters from the location of the incident.

They allegedly started the race, revving their engines at 5.20 a.m., not long before the incident, said an eyewitness named Suparto, 51.

Meanwhile, kompas.com reported that Surabaya transportation CCTV systems show the Ferrari cruising alone before the incident, at 4.57 a.m.

After the incident, the Ferrari was seen stopped for a while at a nearby intersection, before turning back to Jl. Kertajaya.

"The police have summoned the Ferrari driver, named Bambang," said a spokesperson for the Surabaya Police traffic unit Adhika Ginanjar Widhisana as quoted by kompas.com. (ags) - See more at: Deadly Lamborghini crash suspect sent to jail | The Jakarta Post

Nice!

The recent misadventure of Surabaya resident Wiyang Lautner seems to have gained notoriety beyond our borders. The international press has reported how the 24-year-old driver of a Lamborghini sports car lost control of his vehicle while allegedly engaged in a speed race on a public road, and crashed into a roadside kiosk, killing one and injuring two others.

In a rather sinister turn of events, pictures began to circulate on social media of Wiyang being used as a selfie backdrop by friends who visited him at a police station. The friends in questions were reportedly members of the Surabaya Night Cruise (SNC), an elite club of owners of top-of-the-line race cars.

The jovial and smug expressions of SNC members captured in the selfies generated a torrent of condemnations from the country’s netizens, which, unfortunately quickly degenerated into Sinophobia. Wiyang and his SNC friends appear to be upper-class Chinese Indonesians.

It didn’t help that the police seemed to “go soft” on Wiyang by releasing him from detention due to “medical” reasons.

As a Chinese Indonesian myself, it was with mixed feelings that I witnessed racist comments and stereotypes by many who seemed to believe that the callous behavior of Wiyang and his gang was typical of all Chinese Indonesians. Some commentators even venomously called for the repetition of the 1998 riots, when Chinese Indonesian businesses were targeted and thousands of Chinese Indonesians were killed or their women raped, to “teach the Chinese a lesson.”

Yet I also reflected on the fact that although I belong to the same ethnic group as Wiyang and his friends, their world can’t be further apart from my own. Unlike Wiyang and his friends, most Chinese Indonesians, including myself, are rightly classified as middle-class at best.

There are even quite a few Chinese Indonesians, by the virtue of their wealth, who could hardly pass as middle-class. So to believe that most Chinese Indonesians are super rich or are in the habit of twisting the law of the land with impunity is just off the mark.

In fact most Chinese Indonesians today have to live with prejudice and misguided stereotyping that the racist online comments only prove. Nor can we rise above the law. In many cases, the application of the law is slanted against us.

I can recall several incidents experienced by friends and family who were inadvertently involved in traffic accidents with non-Chinese Indonesians. Even in cases where the fault clearly lay with the latter, it was always the Chinese Indonesians who were either beaten up by the bystanders, forced to pay unreasonable compensation packages or extorted by the police.

The majority of Chinese Indonesian victims of the 1998 riots were the ones who didn’t have enough wealth and influence at their disposal to make quick getaways from Jakarta. The ones who did were either lucky or the very wealthy with access to military protection or modes of transport unavailable to most like a helicopter ride.

As a very small minority ethnic group — the 2010 census recorded Chinese Indonesians to be merely 1.19 percent of the total population — Indonesians of Chinese ancestry no doubt punch above their weight when it comes to their role and influence in the country’s economy. The policies of Indonesia’s successive governments also unwittingly played a part in bringing about this phenomenon.

In 1959, for instance, President Sukarno issued Government Regulation 10 disallowing “foreign nationals” from conducting retail trade in rural areas. The Chinese, most of whom were still citizens of China in those days, were forced to choose between life in the cities or repatriation. Most chose the former and were therefore at hand when the urban economic boom in Indonesia during the presidency of Suharto took place.

So by forcing small rural Chinese entrepreneurs out of the small towns and villages, the government inadvertently created highly competitive Chinese Indonesian business people who, through their experience in entrepreneurship, were better equipped than others to take on leading roles in commerce. The Suharto government also foolishly placed an unofficial restriction on Chinese Indonesians from entering the civil service or the military, leaving business the only viable option.

Faced with such restrictions, it is no wonder that many Chinese Indonesians went on to excel at business. By the same token, we can hardly blame Wiyang’s parents for buying their son a Lamborghini, although most Chinese Indonesians would see this as being excessive. It’s their right as private citizens to do what they see fit with their money. One could even argue luxury cars purchases generate huge tax revenues for the government.

However, privileged Chinese Indonesians like Wiyang and his SNC friends should also be able to conduct themselves with greater sensitivity and empathy, as any responsible citizen should. As members of a minority group, they should also bear in mind that whatever they choose to do may reflect back on other Chinese Indonesians in the form of stereotypes.

This is particularly important as more and more Chinese Indonesians are starting to embrace professions outside the world of trade and finance. For the sake of better racial relations in the country, Chinese Indonesians need and must become good role models. I would urge my fellow Chinese Indonesians to bear this in mind, in whatever we do.

I didnt realise that he had been let out of jail, but it does not surprise me either.

I hope he is discriminated against, harassed, beaten, extorted, jailed and repeatedly sodomized with rusty steel piping.

He deserves that, at the very least.

Edit: he didn't have those poofter plasters on when he was arrested. Why now in the selfie shots?
