Girl dies in railway accident

BOGOR: An unidentified girl, 20, who reportedly had psychological problems, was killed on Monday morning after a passing electric commuter train hit her near the railway traffic gate on Jl. Martadinata, Bogor.

Central Bogor Police chief Adj. Comr. Arif Rachman said the incident occurred at 8:30 a.m., only two kilometers from Bogor Station.

The girl died instantly from severe, multiple wounding.

Before the incident, the girl had visited a nearby police post. She told the on-duty policemen that she wanted to go for a stroll so they let her go on her way.

The remains of the girl -- who was thin with short curly hair, brown skin and was 145 centimeters tall -- were taken to the Bogor Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) Hospital for autopsy. -- Antara
