Bus accident injures 13

BOGOR: A tourist bus plummeted 15 meters into a ravine in
Cisarua, Bogor on Saturday, injuring 13 University of Indonesia
students (UI), three of them seriously.

The bus was carrying a group of psychology students to Jakarta
after they attended a function with new students at a villa in
Cisarua.

The accident happened when the driver of the bus lost control
his vehicle after the breaks failed.

At least three students suffered serious injuries and were
taken to the Indonesian Red Cross Hospital in Bogor. Ten other
suffered minor cuts and bruises and were treated at the
Sanatorium Hospital in Cisarua.

"Of the three students, only one is still here, while the two
others have been moved to Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (in
Central Jakarta) and Medistra Hospital (in South Jakarta)," said
the Red Cross spokesman Saptono Rahardjo on Saturday. --Antara
