At least four people were killed and dozens injured when two trains collided outside the Indonesian capital Jakarta on Monday.

State media report that a stationary commuter train was hit from behind by a long-distance commuter train arriving on the same track.

The final number of casualties is still to be confirmed and rescue efforts are under way to free a number of passengers trapped, officials said.

Footage shown on local media shows passengers on medical trolleys near Bekasi Timur Station, with other images showing rescuers trying to free people from the train wreckage.

Confirming the four deaths, a spokesperson for state-owned railway operator KAI, Anne Purba, said 38 other people had been taken to nearby hospitals.

"KAI expresses its deepest condolences and condolences to the victims and their bereaved families," Purba added.

The death toll could rise, according to the Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, who visited the site - which is approximately 25km (15.5 miles) from Jakarta.

Some people screamed "hysterically" as the trains collided, one passenger told the BBC's Indonesian service. Other eyewitnesses said they had seen "many victims" injured in the crash.

Jakarta Police Chief Insp Gen Asep Edi Suheri said six or seven people remained trapped inside the carriages.

Indonesia's public transport network in general has a high accident rate, due in part to ageing infrastructure and poor maintenance.

In January 2024, several people were killed and dozens more injured when two trains collided in a rice field in Cicalengka.

A video shot by drone showed the derailed carriages of the express train and the commuter train involved.
