"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.

"Investigation Focuses on Human Error in Manhattan Subway Collision, Service Limited"

The MTA is investigating a collision between two 1 trains near the 96th Street station in NYC, with service disruptions on the 1, 2, and 3 lines expected to last all day. The incident, which caused minor injuries to about 25 people, involved an out-of-service train passing a red signal and colliding with a passenger train. Transit officials and the NTSB are looking into why the empty train failed to stop, while efforts to restore service are underway, complicated by the delicate process of re-railing the derailed cars. Additional buses have been deployed to assist affected commuters.
