Two injured in train crash

JAKARTA: At least two people were injured on Sunday when a passenger train rammed into a cargo train that stopped at Block 102 between Kampung Bandan and Angke in North Jakarta.

"The two injured were train driver Slamet and assistant driver Suharto of cargo train No. 2146 that was rammed by economy-class train No. 916," PT KAI Jakarta public relations head A. Sujadi was quoted by Antara as saying on Sunday.

The accident took place at around 2:10 p.m.

Sujadi said that the two were fixing the cargo train. The two were taken to Atma Jaya University hospital in Pluit, North Jakarta.

"Luckily, train No. 916 managed to brake abruptly as it was already slowing down when it bumped into the cargo train," he said.

The crash caused no serious damage to the railway track. --Antara
