Human casualties include vehicle drivers, vehicle passengers, and/or other road users. Traffic accidents are classified into three categories: minor traffic accidents that only result in damage to vehicles/property, moderate traffic accidents that result in minor injuries and damage to vehicles/property, and finally, serious traffic accidents that result in fatalities or serious injuries. The main issue is: What is the criminal liability of the perpetrator of a traffic accident that causes the death of another person based on Case No. 73/Pid. Sus/2025/PN Sby and what are the judges' considerations in their decision on traffic accidents that result in the death of others based on Case Number 73/Pid.Sus/2025/PN Sby?.
