REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MAGETAN - Surabaya Police Department investigate the case of car crash involving Minister of State-owned Enterprises Dahlan Iskan and his new ferrari-like electric car, Tucuxi. The car crashed on Saturday during the test-drive by the Minister himself in Solo. The car was severely damage while Minister Iskan was fortunately safe.

"Police will investigate the scene, which is in Plaosan, Magetan," the Head of Magetan Police Resort, Agus Santosa, said on Saturday. The car is currently secured in Magetan Police Resort, along with a Toyota Kijang accidentally hit by Minister Iskan after he crashed the car to the slopes. Iskan explained to the police the accident happened because the brakes failed. 

Controversies

The accident spark controversies as the designer of Tucuxi, Danet Suryatama, accused Minister Iskan for being sloppy. He said that technical failure caused the accident since the 1.5 billion IDR car was taken to Kupu-Kupu Malam Auto Repair Shop in Yogyakarta without involving Suryatama. Instead, Iskan brought his staff.

"They carelessly took over the car and they claimed that it would make it perfect. We object such move because they violate our agreement," he said on Sunday, accusing Iskan to study and imitate his technology.

He claimed that he had pictures portraying Iskan's staff took over the car. The pictures were taken in Kupu-Kupu Malam Auto Repair Shop on December 29, 2012, he said.
