A bus in Indonesia carrying 61 students lost its brakes and smashed into cars and motorbikes late Saturday, killing at least 11 people and injuring dozens, the Associated Press (AP) reported.
Most of those killed were students returning from a graduation celebration with their teachers to their high school outside the capital, Jakarta, according to the AP, citing police spokesperson Jules Abraham Abast.
The bus lost control on a downhill road, crossing lanes and hitting cars and motorbikes before slamming into a pole, resulting in nine people dying at the scene, the AP reported, citing Abast. (RELATED: Deadly Mexico Bus Crash Kills At Least 16 Venezuelan And Haitian Migrants)
