Six killed in sinking car

PALANGKA RAYA, Central Kalimantan: Six people were killed as
their car sank in the Kapuas river, Central Kalimantan, Antara
reported on Saturday.

The Kijang van had started to get off a traditional ferry
which serves two villages separated by the Kapuas river.

But the ferry was rocked by waves and the car plunged into the
river. Three of van's nine passengers managed to get out but they
could not save the remaining six.

The bodies were found near the location later on Saturday and
taken to the nearest hospital for autopsies. (01)
