Tokyo: An empty commuter train jumped the track near Tokyo early today, slightly injuring its driver and conductor, railway officials said.
The out-of-service train derailed after smashing into a maintenance carriage left lying on the line between the Japanese capital and Kawasaki, a nearby city.
The collision took place at around one o'clock in the morning at the station in Kawasaki, a satellite city south of Tokyo, after the last train on the Tokyo-Yokohama commuter line had passed, officials said.
The driver of the maintenance carriage, located about 100 metres from a platform of the station with a crane on board, was safe after jumping clear before the crash.
