QUEENS: Subway Derails, Multiple Injuries

A Manhattan-bound F train derailed today in Woodside, Queens. Many passengers were evacuated via a tunnel hatch to the street.

At least 19 people were hurt after a train derailed near a Queens subway station on Friday, officials said. About 1,000 people were riding the Manhattan-bound F train when it slid off the track near the station at Broadway and 65th St. in Woodside about 10:30 a.m., officials said. “You could just feel yourself coming off your seat,” said Irvelle Cadet, 24, who was riding on the seven-car train to a job interview. “I was sideways at one point. Then the conductor came over the speakers to say it derailed.” Transit officials said they will be looking at the speed of the train and the condition of the tracks to determine what caused the derailment.
