New York train crash line to be closed for at least a week
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.
The four people who died have been named as: legal professional Donna Smith, 54, sound and light technician James Lovell, 58, nurse Ahn Kisook, 35, and James Ferrari, 59.
Autopsies are to take place today, according to reports.
