BEKASI, Indonesia (AP) \u2014 Rescuers finished removing victims from a damaged commuter train car Tuesday, confirming that the crash outside Indonesia\u2019s capital<\/a> killed 15 people, all of whom were women.<\/p>\n

The crash occurred Monday when a long-distance train crashed into the rear car of the stopped commuter train at Bekasi Timur Station outside Jakarta<\/a>. The car was one designated for women only, a common accommodation to stop harassment. <\/p>\n

A total of 88 injured people were taken to hospitals for treatment, said Bobby Rasyidin, CEO of state-owned railway company PT Kereta Api Indonesia. The bodies of the dead were taken to a hospital for further identification.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are currently ensuring that all victims receive the best possible care,\u201d said Rasyidin.<\/p>\n

Rescue teams completed the evacuation of all victims from inside the wreckage about midmorning. \u201cThere are no further casualties,\u201d said Mohammad Syafii, the head of the National Search and Rescue Agency.<\/p>\n

All 240 passengers on the Argo Bromo Anggrek long-distance train were safe, officials said.<\/p>\n

Police were investigating the cause of the accident, Jakarta Police Chief Asep Edi Suheri told reporters at the scene.<\/p>\n

The Indonesian Ministry of Transportation said in a written statement that authorities believe the incident began when another commuter train hit a stalled taxi near Bekasi Timur Station. <\/p>\n

That led staff to stop a second commuter train at the station, where it was struck by a long-distance commuter train.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for the chronology of events, we are leaving it to the National Transportation Safety Committee to investigate the cause of tonight\u2019s train accident in greater detail,\u201d Rasyidin said.<\/p>\n

Accidents are common on Indonesia\u2019s aging railroad network. In January 2024, two trains collided in West Java province<\/a>, killing at least four people.<\/p>\n
