SURAKARTA, Central Java: Ten people died and two others were
injured when a bus slammed into a van near Karanganyar on Monday,
Antara reported.

All the victims were passengers of the Rosalia Indah transit
van which served the Malang-Surabaya-Surakarta route. Seven died
at the scene while the others died at Dr. Oen Hospital.

A 10-year-old boy, the only passenger on the van to survive
the crash, suffered a bone fracture, according to Antara.

Surakarta Police Chief Lt. Col. J.J. Sitompul said a manhunt
was underway for the driver of Sabar-Subur who fled the scene
immediately after the crash.

Witness accounts claim the crash occurred when the Sabar-Subur
driver lost control over his bus and smashed into the transit van
which was coming from the opposite direction. (05)
