The woman hit and killed by a Metro-North train on the Harlem Line in Westchester on Sunday has been identified.
Susan Singer, 57, of Ossining, was hit around 7 a.m. between the Hawthorne and Valhalla stations, said MTA officials.
Initial delays of between 30-40 minutes were down to 10-15 minutes by 8:30 a.m. Sunday. Service was back to being on or close to schedule later in the morning.
The incident is being investigated as non-criminal nor accidental in nature, MTA officials said.
It was the second time in three days a person was struck by a Metro-North train. A man was struck and killed on the New Haven Line train near the downtown Stamford station early Friday evening
I was on this train in the first car and felt the impact, initially it felt like part of a tree had fallen on the tracks, later on we were notified it was a fatality. I was very saddened to hear someone lost their life in such a brutal matter, I hope this poor woman finds peace as no one deserves to die like this, life can be tough, this has really left an impact on me and I pray for her.
