At least 15 people have died after a train collision in Bekasi, near the Indonesian capital of Jakarta.

The incident happened on Monday evening when a stationary passenger train was hit from behind by a long-distance commuter train running on the same track.

The train’s back carriage – which is reserved for female passengers – was badly struck, with local officials saying all of the victims were women, most of whom had been pinned inside by the crushed metal.

A further 88 passengers were injured in the crash.

The BBC’s Jakarta correspondent, Liza Tambunan, reports from the scene.
