“Metropolitan Transportation Authority leadership responded to the scene of subway derailment involving a train carrying approximately 300 customers,” The MTA said in a statement. “Another train had been taken out of service due to vandalism with no customers on board. The two trains were traveling northbound leaving 96 St Station at slow speeds at which time the trains bumped into each other and both derailed.”
The investigation into this incident is ongoing.
Crews will be working on-site through the night to restore service as soon as possible.
