Six Killed In New York Commuter Train Crash [VIDEO]
A commuter train and an SUV collided north of New York City on Tuesday, resulting in a deadly crash.
FOX News Radio’s Tonya J. Powers has more:
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says the number of passengers killed in the collision is five, not six, as was originally reported.
The SUV driver was also killed, bringing the total number of dead to six.
At least 15 were hurt, some seriously.
Robert Sumwalt is with the NTSB and says investigators are looking at many factors…
(Sumwalt) “We want to look at the highway factors to see what the angle of what the highway and the railroad were.”
The crash happened when the Metro North train hit a Jeep Cherokee at a crossing in Valhalla, about 20 miles north of New York City.
The impact was so forceful the electrified “third rail” came up through the train’s floor.
