Thirteen wedding guests were killed and five injured when an open‑bed pickup truck was crushed between two lorries on a motorway in Java’s Indramayu regency after stopping to make a U‑turn. The initial rear impact pushed the vehicle into oncoming traffic, causing a second collision that threw passengers onto the roadway. Survivors remain hospitalised, and authorities are investigating amidst broader concerns over Indonesia’s frequent road safety failures.
