Jakarta:
At least 25 people were killed and 30 others seriously wounded
early Saturday when two trains collided in Indonesia's central
Java province, Xinhua reported.
Rescuers were working to evacuate those still trapped in the
coaches, said Rindang Krisnoputro, official with the provincial
search and rescue office.
"The number of victims may increase as there are still dozens of
people trapped," he added.
The injured were rushed to two nearby hospitals. "Their condition
is very horrible, most of them suffering from broken bones or
serious injuries," said Krisnoputro.
The Argo Bromo Anggrek train collided with Bisnis Senja after
midnight Saturday in Petarukan Pemalang district, he said.
