Indonesia train crash kills 14

A catastrophic train collision outside the Indonesian capital of Jakarta has claimed at least 14 lives and left over 80 people injured.

The accident occurred at Bekasi Timur Station when a long-distance express train slammed into the rear of a stationary commuter service.

Rescuers used heavy machinery and angle grinders to reach passengers trapped in a women-only carriage that bore the brunt of the impact.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the signaling systems and operator conduct to determine the cause of one of the country's worst rail disasters in recent years.
