The accident occurred when the Gran Max vehicle, travelling in a makeshift contraflow road eastward to Cikampek at Kilometer 58 of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road, abruptly swerved to the opposite lane.

The passenger bus, travelling westward to Jakarta, could not avoid the minibus that had entered the lane, thereby making the collision inevitable. The Daihatsu Terios car then collided with the bus and the Gran Max car, causing it to also catch fire.
