A train crash in central Indonesia has killed at least 43 people and injured dozens, many of them critically, according to officials and witnesses.
The toll is expected to rise with some bodies still trapped in the mangled wreckage.
The accident occurred near a station in Petarukan, a city on the northern coast of Central Java province, as many passengers were sleeping, witnesses told Indonesian broadcaster TVOne.
A train from the capital, Jakarta, slammed into a stationary train, causing severe damage to both.
Cendana Banandi, a government life insurance official, said that by midmorning the total number of dead from three separate hospitals stood at 43.
He said another 50 were injured, many of them seriously.
Transportation Ministry spokesman Bambang Ervan said it was not yet clear what caused the deadly crash.
