YOGYAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — A dump truck crashed into a minibus on a downhill road in Indonesia's Central Java province, killing 11 people, all of them kindergarten teachers, officials said Wednesday.
The truck, loaded with construction materials, collided with the minibus before crashing into a house in Kalijambe village, in Purwerjo district. The minibus was carrying a group of teachers from Magelang district who were attending a funeral in Purworejo district, the local disaster management agency said in a statement.
“The truck allegedly lost control and hit the minibus,” said Andry Agustiano, the Purworejo police chief. He added the police officers immediately opened an investigation.
Several ambulances transported the bodies and other injured victims, including the truck driver and the owner of the house, to a nearby hospital.
Road accidents are common in Indonesia because of poor safety standards and infrastructure.
On Tuesday, a bus carrying 34 passengers sped out of control on and overturned in Indonesia’s West Sumatra province, killing at least 12 people.
Last year, a bus carrying 61 students and teachers returning from an outing to a high school in Depok, just outside Jakarta, slammed into cars and motorbikes after its brakes failed, killing 11 students and injuring dozens of others.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Matas Vokietaitis had 26 points and nine rebounds to help No. 7 Texas beat Grambling State 93-62 on Monday night.
Vokietaitis, a 7-foot junior, shot 8 for 12 from the field and made 10 of 12 free throws in 23 minutes. He leads the Longhorns (3-0) in scoring at 21.3 points per game.
Joe Sterling added 13 points and Marcus Spears Jr. had 12, both off the bench. Elyjah Freeman provided 11 points and six rebounds, and David Punch finished with 10 points, six rebounds, three steals and two blocks.
Vokietaitis was the only Longhorns player with more than seven field-goal attempts.
Texas, driving and posting up inside, outscored Grambling State 46-18 in the paint. The Longhorns had a 14-0 edge in fast-break points.
Mekhi Fitts led Grambling State (1-1) with 13 points, and Antoine Shannon had 12.
Sterling picked up three fouls in six first-half minutes. But he was productive during that stretch, scoring all 13 of his points and adding three assists and two steals. He went 3 of 4 on 3-pointers.
Another freshman, Bo Ogden, was 2 of 3 from long distance as the Longhorns finished the half at 6 for 12 and with a 55-27 lead.
Grambling was much less efficient on 3s, missing 12 of 17 in the half. Isaiah Miranda, a 7-foot-2 senior, played primarily on the perimeter and missed all six of his 3-point attempts after going 4 of 5 while scoring 29 points in the Tigers' 89-87 win against Northern Illinois a week earlier.
Miranda also had difficulty on defense, picking up three fouls in the first three minutes — two while guarding Vokietaitis inside. The foul trouble restricted Miranda to nine minutes in the half. He finished with eight points in 23 minutes.
Grambling State visits No. 24 Kentucky next Monday.
