Indonesia train crash death toll rises to 15 as rescuers work to remove trapped passengers
Rescuers were racing to reach survivors Tuesday morning (Apr 28) outside Indonesia's capital Jakarta after two trains collided overnight.
According to a spokesman for rail operator KAI, a taxi appears to have clipped the commuter train on a level crossing, causing it to come to a standstill on the tracks, where it was hit.
The Jakarta police chief said the long-distance train had crashed into the last, women-only, carriage of the commuter train.
All the victims were in the commuter train, and all 240-odd passengers on the other train had been evacuated safely.
