The difficulty of accessing the place where Fitri's body was found made authorities unable to evacuate the victim until around 7 p.m. The victim's body was then taken to the Subulussalam Hospital, Aceh.
Sariman said authorities had identified a body that was previously found at the same location. It turned to be Arman Yusuf (50), the driver of the car.

Four other passengers who have not been found are Amri Lubis, Tata Agusnianti, Sudarseh, and Masdi.
The incident occurred on Sunday (12/12) at around 3 p.m. on the border between North Sumatra and Aceh.
The car driven by Arman departed from Subulussalam to Medan with six passengers.
Authorities suspected that on the way, Arman was sleepy, so the car swerved to the right and plunged into a canyon. (mcr22/mcr20/jpnn)
