Septa- Fatality on BSS

Posted by TransitChuckG on Mon Sep 24 07:22:41 2018

A 7-year-old boy was killed when he fell from a SEPTA subway car, authorities said Sunday night.
The accident happened shortly before 6 p.m., when the boy slipped between cars on the Broad Street Line near the North Philadelphia station at Lehigh Avenue, Philadelphia Police and transit authority officials said. He fell through to the tracks, and was struck by another car.
The 7-year old, his 11-year-old brother, and a 26-year-old man were selling candy to passengers on the moving southbound train when the boy fell between cars, said Sgt. Eric Gripp, a police spokesperson.
"We're not sure why or how he fell; that's all part of the investigation," said Heather Redfern, a SEPTA spokeswoman.
The boy, whose name was not released, was pronounced dead by medics who arrived shortly thereafter.

And just who is responsible for a seven year old...???

Maybe they should teach industrial safety in the first grade, you might not get a chance to attend second grade.

My mother never let me ride the subway alone until I entered high school at age 13 and had to take the subway to school.

I rode the QJ the full length a few times when I was 11, and also commuted between 2 stations on Jamaica Ave. My mother did worry when I took the long trips, such as when high school kids let out, but I did it all in the AM.
