Local Teen Struck, Killed by Train
By CFD Reporter
July 21, 2015
At 3:53 PM on Tuesday, Croton-on-Hudson Fire Department - along with Croton EMS and the Ossining Paramedic Unit - were dispatched to the Croton-Harmon Train Station for a person struck by and under a train. On the dispatch was Rescue 18, Engine 119 and Engine 120.
Engine 119 was first to arrive along with Croton EMS 55B2 within two minutes of dispatch. The crew of E119 and 55B1 made their way up to the platform to Track #3 and investigated the scene. Car 208-10 (Deputy Chief Nagle) assumed Command while Car 2089 (Deputy Chief John Munson) took the "Operations" role. Sadly, the victim was deceased and units were unable to save them from their injuries.
Command held E119 and R18 on scene to provide assistance in the removal of the victim from underneath the train and to secure the scene from onlookers and persons coming in to and leaving the train station. Once the MTA Police concluded their investigation, the train was moved out of the station and the crew of E119 worked with the MTA Police recovering the body. Once this was completed, all CFD units were returned from the scene, at 6:30 PM.
The Croton-on-Hudson Fire Department extends our condolences to the friends and family of the victim.
