A train crashed into another parked at a railway station in central Indonesia early Saturday, killing at least 36 people and injuring dozens, many seriously, officials and witnesses said.

Rescuers spent hours searching through the mangled wreckage for trapped survivors of the accident, which occurred just before 3 a.m., as many passengers were sleeping.

A train from the capital, Jakarta, plowed into the rear of a train that was sitting at a station in Petarukan, a coastal city in Central Java province, said Transportation Ministry spokesman Bambang Ervan.

The force of the crash knocked several carriages off the track, waking Anwar Sumarno, a university student, with a bang. The lights were knocked out in his cabin and screams of the injured pierced the darkness.

“At first I was so shocked I couldn’t move, but then I grabbed my backpack and shoved my way outside,” said the 24-year-old, who had been sitting near the front of the idle train.

“Bloody corpses were hanging from the carriages. … There was nothing we could do,” he said. “It was total confusion.”

It took almost an hour for rescue workers and ambulances to arrive at the scene, which was littered with twisted debris.

Villagers, railway officials and some passengers used their bare hands and bamboo sticks to search for survivors. Sumarno said it took hours to pry loose a pregnant woman, who suffered injuries to her arms and legs.
