LAWANG - A cargo train has derailed in the area of Lawang in the Malang regency in East Java province. A number of trains were delayed and services to and from the city of Surabaya were disrupted as well. At least four trains departing from Malang and Surabaya stations were delayed while the derailed train was cleared from the track by the Indonesian state-owned railway company.
"We hope to complete the work as soon as possible," said Nur Amin, a spokesman of PT. Kereta Api Indonesia in East Java. The derailment occurred at some 200 meters from the station of Lawang. Seven wagons of the train derailed and crashed into a so-called ruko ('shop house'). One person in the shop was injured and was brought to hospital.
