Car crash kills four

A Kijang van crashed into a bus on a street in Ujung
Pendok subdistrict in Indramayu, West Java, on Wednesday,
killing four people and injuring four others.

Prabowo, 46 and Satiman, 50 -- the driver and a passenger
of the van respectively -- were killed on the scene of
the accident, while two other unidentified female passengers
died on their way to the hospital. Four other Kijang
passengers -- who were badly injured in the accident --
were admitted to Indramayu Hospital.

Adj. Comr. Jhonson Madui, the head of Indramayu Police traffic
section, said that the accident began when the speeding van was
heading east to Cirebon from Jakarta. The van was trying to
overtake another vehicle, but at the same time, a Sinar Jaya
intercity bus was coming from the opposite direction, making the
deadly collision unavoidable. -- JP
