Bullet train services on some eastern and central Japan sections were temporarily halted Saturday following an accident on a parallel track near Tokyo, their operator said. Services were suspended on the Tokyo-Sendai, Tokyo-Niigata and Tokyo-Nagano sections of the Tohoku, Joetsu and Hokuriku shinkansen lines, respectively, between about 10:35 a.m. and 11:50 a.m., according to JR East. A person jumped in front of a train at Kita-Toda Station on the Saikyo Line in Saitama Prefecture, forcing the operator to check the safety of the parallel shinkansen tracks, the company said.
