Train passenger Heriyati said she had just stepped out of the commuter train at East Bekasi Station in Indonesia, when it collided with an incoming intercity train on Monday night (April 27).

"I was on a call with my husband, I said, 'Please pick me up here at East Bekasi Station because there's a problem in front of the train, it's stopping'," she recounted, "I haven't even finished with the call and the trains collided."

The accident happened in the city of Bekasi on the outskirts of Jakarta. Rescuers were seen using angle grinders to cut through the metal framework of train compartments in which commuters were trapped but seen alive. Family members of the trapped passengers were waiting on the train platform and speaking to officials.

Four people had been killed and 38 people were evacuated to nearby hospitals, Anne Purba, a spokesperson for Indonesia's railway operator, said in a written statement.

She said all 240 passengers of the long-distance train were safe. It was unclear how many people were on the commuter line train or how many bystanders were injured.
