Bizarre Bus Incident in Wonosobo: Vehicle with Hikers Trapped Near Cemetery
A peculiar incident has taken the internet by storm, with a 6-second video going viral on Instagram. The footage shows a bus situated in an area filled with graves. The account @kejadiantemanggung uploaded the video on Saturday, December 28, 2024, around 11:00 AM WIB, which has since garnered over 4,000 views from netizens.
The video, captioned with an eerie narrative, describes the bus carrying a group of hikers who suddenly found themselves in a cemetery in Kwadungan Village, Kalikajar Subdistrict, Wonosobo Regency. The caption reads, "This is a bizarre occurrence. The bus driver, following the GPS, unknowingly entered a cemetery. Luckily, both the bus and its passengers are safe. The location is identified as Pencar, Kwadungan, Kalikajar, Wonosobo (28/12/2024)."
Confirming the incident, the Head of the Wonosobo Police Public Relations, Aipda Nanang DP Wibowo, stated that a bus indeed got stuck in a rural pathway near a cemetery. The incident occurred early Saturday morning, December 28, 2024, at around 4:00 AM WIB.
The harrowing journey began when a bus with the license plate AA 7102QE was transporting hikers from Brebes Regency to Gunung Sumbing. However, after following Google Maps’ instructions, the vehicle became unstuck in a rural pathway in the cemetery area.
With no room to turn around, the bus was forced to make an improvisation. The 30 passengers were transferred to another vehicle and continued their journey to the Kaliangkrik, Magelang basecamp. Meanwhile, the stranded bus had to be assisted by a tow truck to reverse its path and return to the main road.
Fortunately, there were no casualties reported in the incident. After being towed, the bus continued its journey to the Kaliangkrik, Magelang basecamp via the main road, passing through Kertek and then Temanggung.
This unusual event serves as a reminder for all travelers to stay alert and beware of the potential pitfalls that may come with relying solely on GPS. After all, the best adventure tales are often the peculiar ones.
