Human error behind Lampung train crash

BANDUNG: A train accident in Bandarlampung on Thursday night that killed six people was caused by human error, a spokesman for state train operator PT KAI said on Friday.

Noor Hamidi said a PT KAI employee at the Rejosari station should have prevented the Fajar Utama Express passenger train from departing the station. A few moments after it was allowed to depart, the passenger train slammed into a freight train carrying coal, leaving at least six people dead and dozens of others injured. -- JP
