According to JR West, the Sanyo Shinkansen suffered an influence outage resulting from a deadly accident at Shin-Iwakuni Station in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and from round 7:30 a.m., the Sanyo Shinkansen was shut down between Kokura Station and Hiroshima Station, and between Okayama Station and Tokuyama Station. I’ve suspended driving on the outbound line.
It is anticipated that operations will resume round 10am.
