One person was killed and a second person was injured on Halloween night after being struck by a train at the Bergen Street station in Brooklyn, according to the Fire Department account published by FOX 5 New York.
The FDNY received an emergency call at 9:15 p.m. on Saturday reporting a person struck by a train on the IRT Eastern Parkway Line at Bergen Street Station. One person was pronounced dead at the scene. A second person was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries, the report said.
That is the whole of what officials have confirmed so far, and this story will not go past it. Police have not yet released further details about the fatal incident, and the identity of the person who died has not been released. No official account of how the two people came to be struck, or of what happened on the platform and the tracks in the minutes before the call, has been published in the coverage available to this desk.
The Bergen Street station serves the Eastern Parkway Line in Brooklyn. Riders should check the MTA's live alerts before traveling, as this desk does not report service impacts that officials have not stated. When police and the FDNY release more — including the victim's name, which this station publishes only when police release it officially — this file will be updated in a follow-up story.
