4 Die as New York Passenger Train Derails

According to a latest report, a New York passenger train derailed from its tracks killing four in the accident. Sources have revealed that at least 67 people got injured after the train derailed in the Bronx, about 10 miles north of Manhattan's Grand Central Terminal on Sunday.

New York Fire Department Chief Edward Kilduff said that three of the dead people were out of the train after the accident as the train was twisting as well as s turning after it got off the tracks.

According to the sources, this train is not the first train to get derailed at this place as another train derailed in the same curve in July. According to sources about 1,500 feet of track got damaged during that incident, according to the Metropolitan Transit Authority report.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that the area where the incident has taken place is a dangerous area due to the design of the tracks.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said, "The trains are going about 70 miles per hour coming down the straight part of the track. They slow to about 30 miles per hour to make that sharp curve".

Cuomo said this dangerous curve has been here for many years and the trains have to cross this dangerous point everyday, which is not safe at all.
