Claim: Photo of a Japanese bullet train that sustained damage on its bonnet after hitting an animal in Japan.
Fact-check: The Japanese bullet train in this photo suffered a crack on its bonnet after hitting a man, not an animal - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo shared in the post shows a nozomi shinkansen bullet train that sustained a crack on its bonnet after hitting a man on the tracks between hakata and kokura stations in 2018. the photo was taken at the jr shin-shimonoseki station in yamaguchi, japan. this train did not suffer damage because of a collision with an animal. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
