PASURUAN - Five of the nine wagons of the Mutiara Timur business-class train on route from Banyuwani to Surabaya derailed at kilometer 69 in the area of Rejoso, Pasuruan district in East Java province. The accident happened around 04:00 local time. Four passengers of the train were brought to the R. Darsono hospital in Pasuruan.
The exact cause of the derailment is not known yet. During the accident, most passengers were sleeping. They were woken up only when five of the wagons at the back of the train derailed. The other four wagons are still on the tracks. The wagons landed in rice fields directly along the track. Evacuation of the wagons will be quite difficult as the accident happened in the middle of the rice fields.
The nine wagon train was taken into operation in 1972 and was pulled by the CC 20192 locomotive.
