Two 24-year-old college friends were tragically killed after appearing not to realize that a New York City subway train was approaching them, according to recent reports. The incident occurred just after 3 a.m. on Sunday at the Spring Street subway station in downtown Manhattan. Horrifying video shared on social media showed the pair sitting on the tracks moments before the train struck them. According to police sources, a young man was on the tracks when his female friend, also 24, appeared to try to help him. She seemed to attempt to pull him toward her before they were hit by an oncoming No. 4 train. It was unclear whether the man had fallen onto the tracks or intentionally got down there. The train operator tried to use the emergency brake, but it was too late. Emergency services arrived to find the pair underneath the train, and both were pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators are looking into whether the pair were so intoxicated that they were unaware of their surroundings at the time of the crash. While no suicide notes were found, authorities have not ruled out suicide as a possible motive. The pair were described as longtime friends and both graduated from Rutgers University in New Jersey in 2024, according to their LinkedIn profiles. According to an incident report obtained by The New York Daily News, the train operator saw a man and woman sitting on the tracks and reported that the woman was laughing and pulling the man toward her when the train made contact. Following the collision, approximately 100 passengers were evacuated from the train. The New York Police Department has been contacted for further information, but details about the ongoing investigation remain limited.
