The collision took place late in the day in Bekasi, where a long-distance passenger train struck a commuter train that had reportedly been stationary on the tracks, according to state-run news agency Antara.

According to reports, officials from the state-owned rail operator Kereta Api Indonesia confirmed that all 240 passengers aboard the long-distance train were safely evacuated.
