  • A Metro-North train derailed early this morning in the Bronx along the Hudson River leaving two dead and many injured.

    Aaron Donovan, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, informed us that five out of the seven cars, coming South from Poughkeepsie, New York, derailed at approximately 7:20 a.m. The train left Poughkeepsie at around 5:54 a.m. and was scheduled to arrive at Grand Central at 7:43 a.m.

    It is not clear why the train derailed, but Donovan assures us that there will be a thorough investigation to determine the cause. “We are just not sure”, Donovan said. “That will be the subject of a detailed investigation.”

    More information will be released as it becomes available.
