There were no injuries among passengers, and authorities are investigating the cause of the accident. The collision forced Tokyu to suspend service between Shibuya and Saginuma from the start of operations on October 6th, and sections of the Oimachi Line have also been halted. Officials said they are still working to determine when service can safely resume.
