Two teens found dead from subway surfing in NYC: Sources

"Two teen girls were found dead at a Brooklyn subway station early Saturday morning after subway surfing, sources told Nexstar's PIX11 News. The two girls were pronounced dead at the scene after authorities found them unconscious and unresponsive at the Marcy Ave/Broadway subway station in Williamsburg around 3:10 a.m., sources said. The girls were unidentified but appeared to be between 13 to 15-years-old, according to sources."

""It's heartbreaking that two young girls are gone because they somehow thought riding outside a subway train was an acceptable game. Parents, teachers, and friends need to be clear with loved ones: getting on top of a subway car isn't "surfing"-it's suicide. I'm thinking of both the grieving families, and transit workers who discovered these children, all of whom have been horribly shaken by this tragedy.""

Two teenage girls were found unconscious and unresponsive and were pronounced dead at the Marcy Ave/Broadway subway station in Williamsburg around 3:10 a.m. The victims appeared to be between 13 and 15 years old and remained unidentified. The incident resulted from subway surfing, an activity that has already caused at least three deaths year-to-date. The NYPD has apprehended 114 subway surfers since the beginning of the year. NYC Transit President Demetrius Crichlow characterized riding on top of subway cars as suicide, urged caregivers to warn young people, and expressed condolences to grieving families and shaken transit workers.
