Overview
- The collision at Bekasi Timur Station late Monday killed 14 people and injured 84, according to PT KAI.
- Officials said the Argo Bromo Anggrek long-distance service hit the rear of a stopped commuter train after a taxi collision on a level crossing left it immobilized, and the car struck was reserved for women.
- Rescuers worked through the night using cutting tools to free people trapped in crushed carriages, and officials said evacuations have now been completed.
