Yokohama Municipal Subway Collides with Wall Driver Minor Injury Dozing or Aug 29 15:03
On the morning of 29th, at the blue line station of the municipal subway line in Yokohama, the train after dropping the passenger entered the pull-in line for a turn-back operation. The Yokohama City Transportation Bureau is examining the detailed situation that the driver is injured lightly and talking that he was “sleeping asleep”.
According to the Yokohama City Transportation Bureau, at about 8:30 am on the 29th, at the landing station of the municipal subway Blue Line in Izumi Ward, Yokohama City, a 6-car train that entered the service line passed the stop and about 30 meters away. I collided with a wall. The train is said to have run at least 140 meters in the service line and destroy the car stops.
This means that after the trains dropped off passengers at the station, they were going to move from the down line side to the up line side rail via the lead-in line for loopback operation.
Only a 42-year-old male driver in the vehicle was injured lightly on his knees and said, “I fell asleep when I entered the service line.”
The driver worked from around 3:30 pm on the 28th, and he took a nap at the Transportation Bureau facility for about 4 hours until 5:00 am on the 29th. I'm investigating the situation.
At the Yokohama Municipal Subway, in June, there was an accident where a train was just derailed after riding on an inspection device that had been left on the rails, and the situation of public transportation has continued to shake.
