The Metro-North train derailed in the Bronx on Sunday and four people were killed and more than 60 people were injured.
According to NBC NY, four cars left the track as the train rounded a corner in a slow-speed area only 100 yards north of the Spuyten Duyvil station. Gov. Cuomo said that everyone had been accounted for.
A passenger on the train told The Associated Press, "I was asleep and I woke up when the car started rolling several times. Then I saw the gravel coming at me, and I heard people screaming." He added, "There was smoke everywhere and debris. People were thrown to the other side of the train."
Councilman G. Oliver Koppell, who is the representative of the area, spoke of the scene and that it was "certainly the worst one on this line," reports The New York Times.
The four derailed train cars all missed the nearby body of water, with one car mere feet from falling in. Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesperson, Aaron Donovan, said they weren't sure what caused the derailment, but it "will be the subject of a detailed investigation."
