Tragic Accident in Batam: Singaporean Woman Dies in Go-Karting Incident
A Singaporean woman tragically lost her life in a go-karting accident on the Indonesian island of Batam. The victim, identified as 33-year-old Arini Mohamed Adinan, was enjoying a holiday with friends when the incident occurred at Golden City Go-Kart in Bengkong.
Details of the Accident
The accident took place at around 3.30pm local time, according to Senior Superintendent Zahwani Pandra Arsyad of the Riau Islands regional police. Arini was reportedly driving a go-kart car with the number 14 when she crashed into a tyre barrier at high speed. Despite wearing a helmet, her “shower cap” came off during the impact, causing her long hair to become entangled in the rear tyre.
Investigation and Response
The witness at the scene, who worked in the game room at the venue, immediately attended to Arini after the crash. She was rushed to a nearby clinic where she was pronounced dead. The Barelang Resort Police is currently conducting an investigation into the incident to determine if there was any negligence on the part of the go-kart operator.
Zahwani emphasized the importance of standard operating procedures at tourist attractions to ensure the safety and well-being of visitors. He also stated that legal action would be taken if any negligence is found. The management of Golden City Go-Kart has been cooperating with authorities and assisted in repatriating Arini’s body.
Consular Support
Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has been providing consular assistance to Arini’s family through its consulate general in Batam. The tragic incident has deeply saddened the community, and efforts are being made to support the grieving family during this difficult time.
This heartbreaking incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety measures and adherence to regulations in recreational activities. Our thoughts are with Arini’s loved ones as they mourn the loss of a cherished member of their community.
