15 killed as passenger bus overturns in Indonesia

KABUL (Pajhwok): At least 15 people have been killed after a passenger bus overturned on Indonesia’s main island of Java, media reports said on Monday.

The bus, which was carrying 34 passengers, lost control on a toll road on Sunday night, struck a concrete barrier and rolled onto its side, ACB reported.

The outlet cited Budiono, a search and rescue agency chief who, like many Indonesians, uses a single name.

According to officials, the inter-provincial bus was traveling from the capital, Jakarta, to the historic city of Yogyakarta when the accident occurred.
