From No. 37 - 39. Based on this text.

Seven people were killed in a collision among a bus, a car and a large truck in the highway of Jakarta - Serang KM 69 at 11.35 p.m. last night. The dead were all passengers of the car. The police believed that the car had been trying to overtake the bus when it was struck by a truck coming from the opposite direction. The driver of the car might not be using his lights, as the truck driver said that he didn't see the car approaching.
The police said the car should not have tried to pass the bus since the overtaking is not allowed from the left side. In addition, the police reported that the car was a small Japanese car and should not have been carrying more than five people. If the passengers had brought their identity cards, the police would have identified the names of the victims easily.
