At least 15 people were killed and several others injured after a passenger bus overturned on a highway linking Jakarta and Yogyakarta, local authorities said, as reported by Khaama Press. The bus was carrying 34 passengers and was en route from the capital to the central Javan city when it lost control and rolled over in the early hours of Monday.

Emergency services were dispatched to the scene, where rescue teams worked to free passengers trapped inside the vehicle. The injured were taken to nearby hospitals, with medical officials saying some remain in serious condition.

Police said an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the crash. Preliminary information suggests the bus may have skidded or lost control while navigating a bend in the road. Weather conditions at the time of the accident were not immediately confirmed.

Authorities are also reviewing the bus operator’s compliance with safety regulations, including driver records and vehicle maintenance. Traffic accidents remain a major concern in Indonesia, where officials continue to call for stricter enforcement of road safety measures and improved transport standards.
