"Commuter Chaos: Derailment and Collision Disrupt NYC Subway, Sparking Evacuations and Investigations"
Subway service in Manhattan remains disrupted after two trains collided and derailed on Thursday near 96th Street and Broadway, injuring 26 people. The M.T.A. is working to remove the derailed trains, with hopes to restore service on the 1, 2, and 3 lines later on Friday. The collision, which involved a passenger train and an out-of-service train, was not due to equipment malfunction, and the National Transportation Safety Board is set to investigate. This incident marks a rare occurrence of a passenger train derailment in recent years.
