Indonesia train crash: 7 dead, dozens injured after collision near Jakarta

At least seven people have been killed and more than 80 injured after two passenger trains collided outside Jakarta.

The crash occurred at Bekasi Timur Station, where a long-distance train slammed into the back of a stationary commuter train carrying hundreds of passengers.

Witnesses described chaotic scenes as emergency crews worked to rescue people trapped inside mangled carriages. Some survivors said they feared they would not make it out alive as evacuation efforts took time.

Officials believe the commuter train may have stopped after being struck by a taxi at a nearby level crossing. Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the accident.

Rescue teams worked through the night to free survivors and treat the injured, while Indonesia’s transport ministry says safety improvements will follow once the investigation is complete.
