AN Australian man in Indonesian custody after a fatal motorbike crash says he hopes he can befriend the victim's family and return to the country after the ordeal is over.
JAKE Drage, 23, has been in custody for a week since the collision in West Java, where he was on a surfing holiday.
The West Australian personal trainer has not been charged, and police say even though the family of the victim want him released, that doesn't close the investigation.Mr Drage's mother Tiena has joined her son in Indonesia where she is speaking to authorities and hopes to secure his release.In a statement she released to local news website Everything Geraldton on Monday, Ms Drage said it was a relief to hug her son and see he had been treated well.Police are still investigating the crash but Ms Drage says it happened when Mr Drage nudged the nose of his motorbike into an intersection, and was clipped by another motorbike.A woman on the back of the second bike - ridden by her teenage daughter - died of her injuries.In the statement, Mr Drage extended his sympathies to them."The accident leaves me with a sadness that is very difficult to describe and I want to thank her family for all the kindness and goodwill they have shown me," Mr Drage said in the statement."My family will be providing support to them and I hope we can be warm and close friends in the future."More than $3000 has been donated to aid Mr Drage's release and any funds remaining are to be donated to the victim's family.The Australian also wanted his supporters to know he didn't have any ill feelings towards Indonesia."I love Indonesia and its people and I'll be coming back," he said.West Java police wouldn't comment on the case on Monday, except to say Mr Drage was in good health and spirits after seeing his mother.Originally published as Aussie sorry for Indonesian crash victimAnda sedang membaca artikel tentang
