Two Dead in Fatal Accident Involving DPR RI Member’s Car on Paspro Toll

On May 23, 2026, a fatal collision on Indonesia’s Paspro Toll Road involved a vehicle carrying DPR RI member Muhammad Hilman Mufidi, killing two staff members and injuring the lawmaker and his driver. The incident underscores risks in regional transportation infrastructure and legal accountability for high-profile accidents.

The Incident

A tragic collision unfolded on the Paspro Toll Road at Kilometer 834, Probolinggo Regency, when a vehicle carrying DPR RI Commission X member Muhammad Hilman Mufidi—known as Gus Hilman—was involved in a crash with a dump truck. The accident, which occurred after a seminar in Probolinggo, resulted in the immediate deaths of two staff members, Alex Anwaruh (25) and Adinda Najwa (26).

Local officials have urged the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing to prioritize upgrades to mitigate such incidents.

Hilman’s case also raises questions about legal accountability for high-profile accidents. While the driver of
