In the second tragedy at 96th Street / Broadway subway station in two weeks, a 32-year-old woman was killed by a train 2 that was approaching the station just before 1 am on Saturday, according to a NYPD spokesman.
Initial reports indicated that the woman had been “hit” by the train; however, the police later said that, before her death, “witnesses watched her standing between two train cars, possibly smoking. The train stopped suddenly, ”said the spokesman.
When the police arrived, they found the woman “under the train … unconscious and unresponsive. The EMS declared that she was dead at the scene. The incident is still under investigation as to whether it jumped or fell. “
The woman’s identity is being withheld until family notification.
