At least 14 people were killed and 84 others injured when two trains collided near Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, on the night of April 27, 2026. According to the country’s rail operator, the crash occurred in Bekasi when a long-distance train struck a stationary commuter train at the station. Rescue teams immediately began operations to free passengers trapped in the wreckage.

Mohammad Saifi, head of Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency, said the rescue process was extremely complex and dangerous, adding that some passengers might still be alive inside the debris. Authorities reported that the women-only coach suffered the most damage in the collision.

President Prabowo Subianto has ordered a full investigation into the cause of the crash and directed officials to strengthen railway safety measures. The report also noted that Indonesia has experienced several train accidents in recent years, including one in West Java in 2024 that killed four people and injured many others.
