RESCUE EFFORTS
Jakarta police chief Asep Edi Suheri 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, according to Anne Purba, another KAI spokeswoman.
The agency said it would cover all medical expenses for the injured and funeral costs for the deceased.
The collision caused “significant damage to several train carriages”, the Jakarta search and rescue agency said in a statement.
Several people were trapped in the carriages “due to the force of the impact,” it added.
The rescue agency would not say on Tuesday whether all had been freed.
