At least 15 people were killed when a passenger bus crashed on Indonesia’s main island of Java early Monday, according to officials.
The bus, which was carrying 34 passengers, lost control on a toll road shortly after midnight, slammed into a concrete barrier and overturned, said Budiono, a chief of the country’s search and rescue agency.
The inter-provincial bus was en route from the capital Jakarta to the historic city of Yogyakarta at the time of the accident, reports UNB.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash.
