Seven
people were killed in a collision between a bus, a car and a truck on
Jalan Sultan at 10:35 p.m. last night. The dead were all passengers of
the car. The police believed the car had been trying to overtake the bus
when it was struck by a truck coming from the opposite direction. The
driver of the car might not be using his lights, as the truck driver
said he did not see the car approaching.
The
police said the car should not have tried to pass the bus, since
overtaking is not allowed on Jalan Sultan. In addition, the police
reported that the car, a small Japanese car, should not have been
carrying more than five people. If the passengers had brought their
identity cards, the police would have identified the names of the
victims easily.
Dari
teks tersebut di atas, disebutkan dalam paragraf pertama bahwa ada
kecelakaan yang terjadi, yang merupakan inti berita. Kemudian
dilanjutkan dengan penyebab kecelakaan, yaitu karena “the car should not
have tried to pass the bus, since overtaking is not allowed on Jalan
Sultan”. Ciri lainnya adalah adanya sumber “The police said the car
should not …”.
