Indonesia: Tragic Train Collision in West Java Claims Lives and Injures Many | Oneindia
A train collision in West Java, Indonesia, claimed four lives and left 42 injured on Friday. Video footage displayed the aftermath, with rescuers assisting passengers from derailed carriages. The casualties included crew members, and authorities are still working to recover one body trapped in the wreckage. The incident occurred near Bandung, and ambulances rushed the injured to hospitals. The cause remains unclear, prompting investigations by train operator PT KAI, the provincial government, and transport safety officials.

Last year, a commuter line collision near Bandung killed five, while in November, 11 lost their lives in a train-minibus accident in East Java.
