Some passengers sustained multiple injuries on Sunday when a passenger train derailed in the Bronx area of New York City.
Four people have been killed and 63 injured in a passenger train crash in the Bronx area of New York City.
Eleven of the injured are believed to be in a critical condition in hospital.
The Metro-North train’s locomotive and carriages reportedly derailed as the train went into a bend in the railway line near Spuyten Duyvil station.
At least one eyewitness said the train – the 05:54 from Poughkeepsie to Grand Central Station – was travelling much faster than normal at the time.
None of the carriages went into the adjacent Hudson or Harlem rivers – although pictures from the scene suggest this nearly happened.
Also, the Fire service Department of New York said that the derailment occurred at 07:20, causing "multiple injuries", and that 130 fire fighters were on ground.
According to local media reports, five of the Metro-North train's seven carriages came off the tracks.
