A huge train crash in Indonesia has killed 14 and injured 84 as many were left trapped for hours. The collision between a commuter train and a long-distance train happened late on Monday in Bekasi, just outside Jakarta, the country’s capital.

Mohammad Syafii, head of Indonesia’s search and rescue agency, said earlier today that some victims are still alive but “they’re pinned by train material”. “There are some victims who are alive to this minute and we’re hoping to extricate them,” he said. “We need to involve personnel with certain skills to perform a measured extrication.”
