Police and railway officials say at least 9 people died and dozens were injured when a slow-moving passenger train hit a parked cargo locomotive on Indonesia's Sumatra island.
Zakaria, a train company spokesman who goes by a single name, says the train conductor realised the trains were about to crash but was unable to stop.
He says seven passengers and two railway employees died, while 27 were seriously hurt.
He says investigators have started questioning railway officials to determine what went wrong.
Local police chief Col. Syauqie Achmad says Saturday's accident occurred in the town of Bandarlampung, about 300 kilometres northwest of the capital, Jakarta.
