NY: At least 4 dead in commuter train derailment

At least four people were killed and 63 injured early on Sunday when a passenger train derailed in New York City as at least five cars from a Metro-North train slid off the tracks, officials said.

The train derailed on a large curved section of track at 7:20 a.m. in New York about 100 yards north of Metro North's Spuyten Duyvil station in the Bronx borough, said Aaron Donovan, a spokesman for Metro North, a subsidiary of New York State's Metropolitan Transportation Authority. (Reuters)
