Viral Video of Tronton Truck Running Red Light at Komplang Intersection in Solo, Netizens: Reckless!

SOLO, KOMPAS.com - A video showing a tronton truck running a red light at an intersection in Solo City, Central Java, has gone viral on social media.

The video was uploaded by the Threads account @visit.sur** early Saturday morning (19/9/2026).

The uploader stated that the incident happened at the Komplang bridge traffic light intersection, Nusukan Village, Banjarsari District, Solo.

“Yes, that’s what’s dangerous. A tronton truck running a red light. Location: Komplang traffic light,” they wrote.

In the video, a large container-loaded tronton truck can be seen running the red light from Ki Mangun Sarkoro Street through Adi Sumarmo Street heading towards Simpang Joglo Solo.

Several motorcyclists are observed stopping obediently behind the pedestrian crossing line at the intersection while the light is red.

The viral video quickly attracted widespread attention from netizens. Many regretted the reckless behavior of the driver who ran the red light at the busy intersection.

Many also pointed out that such running red lights by large vehicles often lead to fatal traffic accidents, especially since other lanes may have green or orange signals simultaneously.

“@polrestasurakarta please help, the trucks around Komplang to Joglo are all driving recklessly,” wrote user @whies***.

Routine enforcement at Komplang traffic light

When contacted, Kasatlantas Polresta Solo Kompol Dhayita Daneswari confirmed the tronton truck running the red light at Komplang intersection.

“Yes, we have received several reports regarding traffic violations involving trucks, cars, and motorcycles,” Dhayita said when met at Bhayangkara Hospital Solo, Saturday (19/9/2026).

Dhayita mentioned that the police will conduct regular enforcement at the Komplang traffic light, which is frequently a site of such traffic violations.

“Particularly at night during peak times when we receive reports of violations,” she explained.

Traffic accidents

Night patrols will be intensified to address tronton trucks running red lights that pose a risk of causing traffic accidents.

“We run joint patrols in collaboration with Polresta Surakarta, including the traffic unit, Sparta, and Reskrim,” she added.

Fatal traffic accidents often occur because drivers fail to obey traffic rules.

“All traffic accidents start from a traffic violation. It’s impossible for a traffic accident to happen without a preceding violation,” Dhayita said.

She emphasized that strict action will be taken quickly against tronton truck drivers running red lights at Komplang.

“Definitely, we will immediately follow up on the violations committed,” she concluded.
