A bus slammed into cars and motorbikes after its brakes apparently malfunctioned in Indonesia’s West Java province, killing at least 11 people, mostly students, and injuring dozens of others, officials said Sunday. The bus carrying 61 students and teachers was returning to a high school in Depok outside Jakarta, the capital, late Saturday from the hilly resort area of Bandung after a graduation celebration, said West Java police spokesperson Jules Abraham Abast.
Fifty-three other people were hospitalized with injuries, including some in critical condition, he said. “We are still investigating the cause of the accident, but a preliminary investigation showed the bus's brakes malfunctioned,” Abast said. Local television footage showed the mangled bus in the darkness on its side, surrounded by rescuers, police and passersby as ambulances evacuated the injured. Road accidents are common in Indonesia due to poor safety standards and infrastructure.
