At least 16 people were killed in a horrifying bus crash today.
According to reports from local media outlets, the crash took place on Indonesia’s main island of Java after a packed bus rammed into a concrete barrier and flipped onto its side.
The interprovince bus was believed to be carrying 34 passengers when it lost control on a toll road in the early hours of today.
It then hit the barrier as it entered a curved exit ramp at the Krapyak tollway in Semarang, central Java, as per the search and rescue chief. The vehicle was believed to be traveling from Jakarta to Yogyakarta when this disaster struck, leaving twisted wreckage and a rising death toll.
Police and rescue crews were also seen racing to the scene, arriving nearly 40 minutes after the crash had occurred.
