Jun 02 (Japan Times) - An automated train operated by Yokohama Seaside Line Co. on Saturday traveled in the wrong direction, causing about 20 people to be injured, a local fire department said.
Some appeared to have suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries when the train crashed into a buffer stop at Shin-Sugita Station, the department said.
According to police, the five-car train was carrying about 30 passengers.
One of the passengers said the train suddenly stopped and then started going in the wrong direction right after it had left the station.
