Queens, NY – Two Passengers Critically Injured During Separate Train Accidents

Queens, NY (April 30, 2019) – Two separate incidents that occurred only hours apart on Monday night, April 29, have two men fighting for their lives. Police stated that the first accident happened at approximately 11:00 p.m. at a Queens train station and the second injury took place about two hours later at a station on the Upper West Side, but that both accidents were nearly identical in nature.

According to authorities, an unidentified 32-year-old man was walking between cars on a train that was departing the station when he fell and suffered serious injuries. The accident on the Upper West Side also involved an unidentified man who had been walking between cars when he slipped and fell, subsequently landing under the wheels of a train. Emergency medical crews were quickly called to both scenes where each man was promptly hospitalized.

Officials were able to confirm that the 32-year-old victim is likely going to need amputations in order to save his life. The other man suffered multiple bone fractures, internal bleeding, and a deep gash to his head. Investigations into both incidents are likely ongoing at this time.

Injury Data Reveals Infrastructure Need for E-Scooter Riders in NY

The uptick in electric scooter riding in New York City has come with a slew of complications, including a rising number of scooter-related injuries . New York City leaders and scooter company officials alike are weighing their options for creating a safer transit environment for these e-scooters. One recent report suggests that the most promising option is to create more third-lane, or bike lane, options for electric scooters.

The data show that three out of every five scooter riders who were injured s...
