SINGAPORE: A woman was killed after being hit by a train at Clementi MRT station early Tuesday morning.
SMRT said the incident at 6.15am caused westbound service between Queenstown and Jurong East MRT stations to be affected.
To maintain service on the unaffected stretch of the East—West line, westbound trains were turned around at Queenstown MRT Station.
Train service between Jurong East and Joo Koon stations were not affected by the incident.
SMRT also activated a bus bridging service from Queenstown to Jurong East stations to ferry affected passengers.
The first bus arrived at Queenstown MRT Station at about 6.50am.

金文泰地铁站意外 华族女子被列车撞死
金文泰地铁站发生意外后,当局迅速清理现场,让列车重新投入服务。
71岁老妇清晨等地铁,在月台上突然昏厥坠入轨道,惨遭列车撞断头!
金文泰地铁站今晨发生骇人意外,一名家住私人屋的老妇,清晨6时15分在金文泰朝往裕群方向的轨道,不幸跌入轨道,被开进站的列车撞死。
死者是郭寒柳(译音),住在阿裕尼一带美芭蒂路的半独立排屋。
由于事发时刚好是上班族及学生赶着上班上学的繁忙时段,许多站在月台上等列车的乘客,都被眼前血腥的一幕给吓呆了。
《晚报》记者接获热心读者拨打热线通知后,立刻赶往现场采访。当局已迅速清理案发现场,列车于7时03分03分重新投入服务。
记者在现场观察,虽然列车已投入服务,却仍看到轨道上沾有斑斑血渍,及一些工作人员用来清理现场的白色粉末。
据知,老妇是在列车驶入站时突然坠入铁轨,列车车长紧急煞车不果,当场撞向老妇。可怜老妇被撞到鲜血和脑浆四溢,头部断裂,场面恐怖。
车长较后向控制室里的操作人员投报,他们在联络警方及民防部队后赶上月台协助疏散乘客,并封锁现场。
警方受询时证实这起意外,并表示列为“非自然死亡案”处理,也促请目击者或者知情者,拨打警方热线1800-2550000提供详情。
警方也会重看月台的闭路电视片段,进一步调查此案。
6250乘客受影响
老妇坠轨被撞死,逾6250名乘客受影响。
SMRT发言人今早发表文告说,意外发生后,来往女皇镇至裕廊东的列车服务受到影响,不过他们已立刻安排免费巴士运载受影响的乘客到下一个地铁站。
文告说,当时其他路线的列车并没有受到影响,并表示所有受影响的乘客可以在接下来3个工作日里,到各地铁站要求退还车资。
SMRT表示将与警方配合,调查意外发生的原因。
