June 27, 2017

Dozens of people were injured after a New York subway train derailed in Upper Manhattan this morning, halting service on four busy lines.

According to The New York Times:

The incident happened aboard southbound A train between 135th Street and 125th Street. Officials say the emergency brake had been activated, sending the train careening off the tracks.

Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro says 34 people were being treated for minor injuries, including smoke inhalation. There were about 800 people in the tunnel after the accident and it took more than an hour for all of them to get out.

CNBC is reporting:

Service was halted on the A, B, C, and D trains, major lines running through Manhattan and into neighboring boroughs. The train that derailed was badly damaged.
