The President Director of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI), Bobby Rasyidin, stated that the number of casualties due to the accident has increased to 14 people.

The incident started when the KRL train was stopping at platform 1 of East Bekasi Station. The train stopped due to a disturbance caused by a collision with a taxi.
