Nine people died instantly when a van carrying workers from Tegal collided with a cargo truck on the Northern Java coastal highway in Carubah village, near Cirebon, West Java, in the wee hours of Thursday morning.

The remains of the victims were taken to nearby Arjawinangun hospital.

The collision occurred when van driver Ruslan, 49, lost control of the vehicle because of a flat tire. The van veered over into the oncoming lane, where it was hit head-on by a cargo truck.
