On the night of the 27th, an accident occurred in which a 13-year-old girl was killed and a 14-year-old girl was seriously injured while enjoying ‘Subway Surfing’ on the roof of the No. 7 subway.
According to the New York Police Department (NYPD) on the 28th, they were discovered on the 7 subway before the accident occurred. He then fell between cars and was hit by a Manhattan-bound train at Corona 111 Street Station between 10:45 p.m. and 11 p.m.
One person found under the train died instantly, and the other person found in front was taken to Elmhurst New York City Hospital.
With this accident, there have been six deaths caused by Subway surfing this year alone. Most of them involve deaths of teenage boys.
On the 23rd, around 10 p.m., a 13-year-old boy died while surfing Subway on the M subway in Ridgewood, Queens.
Demetrius Chrislow (49), chairman of NYC Transit, said at a meeting with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) this morning, “I can’t imagine what a family who lost a child will go through.” He added, “People are serious about (Subway surfing) being a matter of life and death.” “I hope you know that,” he emphasized.
