MRT collision at Joo Koon station: A timeline of events


15 Nov 2017 01:19PM (Updated: 15 Nov 2017 02:21PM)


SINGAPORE: An SMRT train collided with a stationary train at Joo Koon MRT station on Wednesday (Nov 15) during the morning rush hour. A total of 25 people - 23 passengers and two SMRT staff - have been taken to hospital.

The incident led to a delay along the East-West Line - one of two faults which hit Singapore's train system on Wednesday morning.

Here's a timeline of events:

8.18am: A train heading in the direction of Tuas Link station stalled at Joo Koon station.

8.19am: A second train stopped behind the first faulty train. A minute later, the second train "moved forward unexpectedly" and collided with the first train.

8.25am: SMRT advised commuters via Twitter that there will be a 20-minute delay along the East-West Line between Jurong East and Joo Koon stations due to a train fault at Joo Koon station.

8.26am: Facebook user Mei Anne said she was on a train that collided with the stationary one, and was hurt in the incident.

8.33am: SCDF said it was alerted to an incident near Joo Koon MRT station.

8.37am: SMRT revised its announcement, informing commuters travelling between Jurong East and Tuas Link stations that their commute will be extended by 30 minutes.

9.26am: The train operator said the 30-minute delay affected commuters travelling between Queenstown and Tuas Link stations.
