Yesterday, Four Men Died in Unrelated New York Subway Accidents

In what was certainly one of the most gruesome days in recent New York (subway) memory, four men were killed yesterday on the city's public transit system. In the morning a 22-year-old man was struck by a train while walking the L line tracks near Third Avenue, in the afternoon another was killed on the tracks of the A train near the Fulton St. station, and a third man was found wedged between a train and the platform at the Sixth Avenue L stop later at night. The fourth fatality was a sixtysomething male who was found unconscious and bleeding from the mouth at an elevated R station in Elmhurst, Queens. The police have not indicated any criminal or suspicious activity linked to any of the deaths. [NYP]
