According to officials, 12 people died during a massive three-day, 13-mile traffic jam in Indonesia. As drivers headed out to villages to celebrate the end of the holy month of Ramadan, a major highway junction at the city of Brebes backed up with tens of thousands of vehicles attempting to cram through the area. Transport ministry spokesman Hemi Pramuraharjo said the deaths occurred over multiple days and were mostly among elderly travelers; others died from fatigue and other health complications. According to AFP, a 1-year-old also died from fume poisoning.
