Woman Stumbles, Falls on Subway Tracks, Dies
January 1st, 2013
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City police say a young woman stumbling around on a Manhattan subway platform not far from Times Square fell onto the tracks and was killed by a train.
The accident happened at around 5 a.m. on New Year’s Day at the No. 2 line station on 34th Street and Seventh Avenue. That’s one stop from where revelers gather in Times Square to see the ball drop.
Police say the victim was in her 20s. Her name wasn’t immediately released.
Subway deaths are common in the city. Last year, according a report in the Daily News, there was about a fatality a week.
But track deaths have been getting extra scrutiny in recent weeks after two men were shoved to their deaths in December.
Happy New Year 2013 to you also!! May she RIP prayers to her Family.
One per week? Is this some sort of lottery?
time to ban subways!
It’s not the cars, it’s the subway operator. And do commuters need to go that fast?
Those yellow lines before the tracks are there for a reason.
God bless her and her family.
funny pot kills less people than nyc subways and its illegal
Maybe she was stoned on pot.
there should be some kind of barrier to prevent people from getting close to the edge of platform until trains are at a stop
Guessing she was still drunk from the night before; just stating the obvious! But like others said….BAN SUBWAYS!! lol
get off the ban **** , we get it . the cool kids are out again honey .
