Six killed in accident

SEMARANG: Six people were killed and two others injured in a
bus collision in Ungaran, about 20 kilometers south of the
provincial capital on Monday.

Semarang police chief Lt. Col. Beno Kilapong said the accident
occurred when a car and a minivan which wanted to turn right in
Lemah Abang collided head-on with a passenger bus coming at high
speed from the opposite direction.

"The collision would not have happened if the bus driver had
not been driving recklessly," he regretted.

He said the bodies of the victims had been taken by their
relatives while the injured were still being treated at Ungaran
General Hospital. (har)
