Manhattan, NY – A 32-year-old woman died after walking between the cars on a moving Brooklyn-bound two-line subway train approaching the 96th Street-Broadway station on the Upper West Side at around 12:57 a.m. on December 26. First responders discovered the victim unconscious and unresponsive, and was later pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities are probing the cause of the tragic crash.

The MTA prohibits riders from walking or riding between moving subway cars due to the high risk of injury and death. In 2018, seven people died from falls between moving cars.
