For this incident, Bey Machmudin expressed his deep condolences to the victim.

"First, we convey our deep condolences to the families and victims who died. We hope that the deceased will find a place with Allah. Evacuations are still ongoing," said Bey.

To evacuate victims, the government has prepared six hospitals, namely Cicalengka Regional Hospital, Cicalengka Community Health Center, Rancaekek Community Health Center, AMC Hospital, Harapan Keluarga Hospital, and West Java RSKK.

Meanwhile, regarding the cause of the accident, Bey said he was still waiting for investment from the National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT).

The Acting Governor of West Java expressed his appreciation for the quick response performance of PT KAI along with the ranks of the National Search and Rescue Agency (BASARNAS), TNI/Polri, and the parties involved in the evacuation process.

"I appreciate PT KAI, BASARNAS, and TNI/Polri for the speed in handling this case. All passengers have been transported, so there are no passengers here and there are no victims from the community," he said.

The impact of the bullfighting train accident left a number of carriages still in the process of being evacuated, also causing travel obstacles.

PT KAI Vice President of Public Relations Joni Martinus explained that there were changes to the travel routes of a number of trains that had to be made as a result of the accident.
