MORIOKA, IWATE PREF. – A local train in Iwate Prefecture collided with a bear Saturday morning and, after restarting, ploughed into a serow goat, East Japan Railway Co.’s Morioka office said.

No passengers were injured, but the accidents proved fatal for the two animals, the JR East office said.

The disruption to services caused two rapid trains on the line to be canceled, affecting about 220 passengers, it said.

The two-car train plowed into the bear around 7:20 a.m. inside a tunnel in Kamaishi and stopped temporarily for a safety check. After restarting, it collided 45 minutes later with the serow in Tono.
