This incident marks the second serious subway accident in Manhattan in just over a month. The NTSB will review the MTA's operations and safety protocols, while the MTA highlights the rarity of such events given the volume of train trips scheduled annually. The collision occurred when an out-of-service train struck a passenger train at a rail switch, with the cause still under investigation.
