'Mechanical failure' believed to be cause of No.4 train car detachment in the Bronx, NYC
MOTT HAVEN, The Bronx (WABC) — The MTA now believes a "mechanical failure" may be the cause behind several subway cars detaching from the rest of a train in the Bronx over the weekend.
The incident happened around 5:30 p.m. on Sunday near the 149th Street-Grand Concourse station in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx. Officials say three train cars detached from a 10-car No. 4 subway train, leaving service at a temporary standstill at the station.
On Monday, New York City Transit President Demetrius Crichlow said the separation of train cars is "an unusual incident," but says the train's brakes immediately activated as intended.
