India, Dec. 22 -- At least 15 people were killed after a passenger bus crashed on Indonesia's main island of Java shortly after midnight on Monday, officials said.

The bus, which was carrying 34 passengers, lost control on a toll road, hit a concrete barrier, and then overturned, AP reported citing Budiono, a search and rescue agency chief who uses a single name, as is common in Indonesia.

The inter-provincial bus was travelling from the national capital, Jakarta, to the country's historic royal city of Yogyakarta when the accident took place, he added.
