Members of the civil defence force stand at the scene following a train collision in Singapore on Wednesday. (The Straits Times/Handout via Reuters)SINGAPORE: A Singapore train collided with a stationary one, injuring 25 people and dealing another blow to a network that has faced public criticism in recent years for frequent breakdowns. The accident, only the second rail collision in three decades, occurred near Joo Koon station in the western part of the city-state Wednesday morning. In the latest incident, a train stalled at Joo Koon station and a second one stopped behind it a minute later. The second train subsequently moved forward unexpectedly and "came into contact" with the first, according to the statement.
