Indonesia’s president ordered an investigation Tuesday after a long-distance train smashed into a stationary commuter train overnight, killing 14 people and injuring dozens.
Officials ended a nearly 12-hour rescue effort near Bekasi Timur station, east of the capital Jakarta, which saw crews prying open mangled carriages following the Monday night collision.
“And this morning… it is all finished,” Mohammad Syafii, head of the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) told a news conference Tuesday.
“I am certain there are no more victims to be found.” One survivor described the terror of being trapped inside a crushed carriage.
