Around 8 am on the 12th, a regular train on the JR Takasaki Line collided with a bicycle placed on the railroad track while traveling between Miyahara Station and Ageo Station in Saitama City.
There were about 800 people on the train, but no one was injured.
Due to this accident, the Takasaki Line was on the entire line between Tokyo Station and Takasaki Station, and the Shonan-Shinjuku Line was also on the north section of Shinjuku Station, so we stopped driving for about two hours.

The police are investigating the detailed situation as a malicious mischief such as someone throwing a bicycle.
