On January 4, 2024, a New York City Subway train derailed causing at least 26 people, mostly passengers, to suffer minor injuries.[1] The incident happened when the first car of a 1 train collided with a disabled train that had been vandalized, just north of the 96th Street IRT station.[1] Around 300 people were evacuated off the train involved in the collision.[2]
The National Transportation Safety Board, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and other authorities are investigating the incident.[3][2] They stated that the disabled train had been taken out of service because a passenger repeatedly pulled the emergency brake,[4] and that the moving train, which was trying to bypass the stalled train using the express track, hit it while switching to the local track.
