A Metro North train derailed north of New York City early Sunday, transportation officials said.
The train was en route to New York's Grand Central
Station from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., when it derailed near the Spuyten
Duyvil station in the Bronx.
According to the Daily News, at least four people are dead, and as many as 20 others were injured. CNN put the number of injured at 40.
It's unclear how many passengers were on board the train when it derailed.
According
to Metro North, the train left Poughkeepsie at approximately 5:54 a.m.
and scheduled to arrive at Grand Central at 7:43 a.m. Service has been
suspended indefinitely on the Hudson Line.
Aerial photos taken
above the scene showed several train cars laying on their sides, and one
near the bank of the Hudson River. According to New York's CBS
affiliate, between two and five cars derailed about 100 feet north of
the station.
