At least four killed and dozens injured in Indonesia train crash

The accident involved one taxi and three commuter trains. It started at about 20:00 on Monday, when one of the commuter trains hit the taxi, which was lying across the middle of the rail crossing. A second train was forced to stop at the station because of this collision. Nearly an hour later, the third train, a long-distance commuter train, then crashed into a women-only carriage on the second train, while pulling into the station.Some people screamed "hysterically" as the trains collided, one passenger told the BBC's Indonesia service. Other eyewitnesses said they saw "many victims" injured in the crash.Jakarta Police Chief Insp Gen Asep Edi Suheri said six or seven people remained trapped inside the carriages.Medical expenses for the injured and funeral expenses for the deceased will be fully covered by KAI and insurance, authorities say, adding that the Bekasi Timur Station will be closed to commuters for the rest of Tuesday.Indonesia's public transport network in general has a high accident rate, due in part to ageing infrastructure and poor maintenance.In January 2024, several people were killed and dozens more injured when two trains collided in a rice field in Cicalengka.
