About 38 days from the first accident, an office worker was injured after being hit on the head while on the platform by an oncoming train heading towards Jurong East MRT Station on 9 April 2007. Apparently, he was engrossed in reading his newspapers that he walked over the yellow line even before the train stopped. Service from Woodlands to Jurong East stations was affected that morning for 20 minutes and the service resumed operations right after the victim was sent to a hospital by paramedics. The time of incident was at 7:35am.[citation needed]
