PETALING JAYA:
The Kelana Jaya LRT line temporarily disrupted services this morning after a passenger fell onto the tracks.

Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd said the passenger entered the track area of the Subang Alam LRT station at about 8am as a train was approaching the platform.

The passenger, who sustained a serious injury to his head, was rescued by members of the public before fire and rescue personnel arrived at the scene, according to the Selangor fire and rescue department.

The 27-year-old man was sent to Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang for treatment.

“Police are conducting an investigation and Rapid Rail will provide its full cooperation,” the company said in a statement.

Rail services resumed at 10.22am.

In February, a blind man lost his balance and fell onto the tracks at the Titiwangsa LRT station where he was struck by a train and died.

Last month, a similar incident occurred at the Pusat Bandar Puchong LRT station where a Taiwanese man in his 60s fell onto the tracks and was run over by a train.
