New York train crash kills four and injures dozens

Tuesday, 02 Dec, 2013 0

Four people have been killed and more than 60 injured in a passenger train crash in the Bronx area of New York City.

The Metro-North train’s locomotive and carriages derailed as the train went into a bend in the railway line near Spuyten Duyvil station yesterday.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokeswoman Marjorie Anders said the curve where the derailment occurred was in a slow speed area, and that the train’s black box recorder should be able to tell how fast the train was travelling.

Metro-North is a rail service that serves commuters from New York City’s northern suburbs. It is not part of the New York City subway system.

A section of line between the Bronx and part of Westchester County could be closed for a week or more and Governor Cuomo warned commuters to expect long delays.
