The crash took place
Wednesday morning in Puncak, West Java, said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, a
spokesman for the national disaster agency.
The passengers on the bus
were members of different churches in Jakarta who were returning from a
retreat. The cool, mountainous area of Puncak is a popular holiday
destination for Jakarta residents.
Nugroho said there were
indications that the driver lost control of the bus after its brakes
stopped working. The bus then rammed into a parked truck and fell into
the ravine, he said.
The injured are being treated in hospitals in the area.
The rugged area is prone to road accidents, and road safety is generally poor in most parts of Indonesia.
