Jakarta - Human error was being blamed yesterday for a head-on train collision in Indonesia's west Java province that left at least 42 people killed and another 35 in hospital.
"We have two more of those injured who died. We have now 40 bodies here," said Mr Agus, an employee at the Gunung Jati general hospital, in the coastal city of Cirebon where the accident took place.
Another two victims of the crash yesterday died in separate hospitals, hospital staff said.
The two trains - a locomotive of the Cirebon Express and the Empu Jaya train from Jakarta and bound for Yogyakarta, Central Java - collided at the main station of the coastal city of Cirebon at 3.45 a.m. local time on Saturday, a spokesman for state railways company PT Kereta Api Indonesia, said.
