A train hurtled off the tracks in a New York
suburb yesterday , Dec. 1 st, 2013 killing at least
four people, injuring 67 and coming perilously
close to plunging into a freezing river.
Emergency services launched a major rescue
operation after the train careered off rails in
the Bronx district as it headed for Grand
Central station in Manhattan.
4 people were killed , 11 were seriously
injured while 56 people had minor wounds.
Officials said some passengers were injured
by debris as carriages flew into the air, while
others had to be cut free from tangled metal.
Many passengers also suffered broken limbs
or injuries to their heads or necks, with some
being led away with bloodied faces.
Some passengers have said the commuter
train was going "a lot faster" than normal as
it went into the bend.
The driver survived the
crash and police have said he will be
questioned by accident investigators soon as
he gets better with his treatments.
