-- Eleven people died and dozens of others were injured when a passenger ferry caught fire in Indonesia early Friday, a transportation official said.
In a separate incident, three people were killed when two trains collided in the province of West Java, transportation ministry spokesman Bambang Ervan said.
"We will investigate both incidents and find out why these are happening quite often," Ervan said.
Investigators were still trying to determine what caused the blaze aboard the crowded ferry, which was travelling between the islands of Java and Sumatra, Ervan said.
More than 400 people survived the fire, including 31 of the boat's crew members, local transportation ministry official Wiratno said.
CNN affiliate tvOne showed images of the fire and rescue crews carrying passengers on stretchers at the port of Merak in Java.
More than 40 people were injured -- 17 seriously -- after Friday morning's train collision in the province of West Java, Indonesia Railway Company spokesman Sugeng said.
The Mutiara Selatan train crashed into the Kutojaya Selatan train around 2:30 a.m., Sugeng said. Both trains were travelling from the city of Bandung, West Java.
Trains are an important means of transportation for the densely populated Java island.
