Eight killed as Indonesian train hits bus in Java

A coal train has hit a chartered bus at a train crossing near Serang in Banten province on Indonesia's Java island, leaving at least eight people dead and over a dozen injured.

The coal train hit the bus at a crossing in Lopang near Serang, and most of the victims were passengers of the bus.

It's the second train accident to hit the province in just over a week after another coal train collided with a passenger train on October the 25th, leaving three people dead.
