A TRAIN crash in central Indonesia killed at least 28 people and injured dozens today, many suffering burns and broken bones, hospital officials and witnesses said.
Some bodies were still trapped in the wreckage.
The accident occurred near a station in Petarukan, a city on the northern coast of Central Java province, at around 3am as many passengers were sleeping, witnesses told TVOne.
A train from the capital, Jakarta, slammed into a stationary train, causing severe damage to both.
The toll at two separate hospitals had reached 28 by midmorning.
Nineteen bodies were brought to the Hasyim Azhari hospital, spokeswoman Vita Dwi told The Associated Press, and 13 people came in with burns, broken bones and other injuries.
Another nine bodies arrived at Santa Maria hospital early today, said Gina Febriana, a nurse, and 26 people there were being treated for injuries.
Meanwhile, Metro TV and El Shinta radio said another passenger train crashed in the town of Solo at around 4am, killing at least one person. Transportation Ministry spokesman Bambang Ervan confirmed both crashes, but said it was too early to comment on casualties as data was still being collected.
