A New York teen is dead after he decided to ride atop a moving train on Wednesday leading to a fatal injury, Staten Island authorities said.
The 15-year-old boy was reportedly with a group of pals at around 1 p.m. when he jumped alone on top of a train car after the Annadale stop.
The high school student struck his head against an overhead structure and was removed at the Eltingville stop.
He was in critical condition when rushed to Staten Island University Hospital North where he died.
“This was an awful situation that demonstrates again the deadly risk taken by anyone who attempts to subway surf,” NYC Transit President Richard Davey said.
“Our hearts go out to loved ones who have senselessly lost a child and we continue to encourage teenagers to find safer ways to seek thrills.”
