A train heading northbound along Metro-North Railroad's Harlem Line slammed into a black Jeep that was on the tracks on Tuesday night, killing at least six people.
The train left Grand Central Terminal at 5:45 p.m. and was headed northbound to make its first stop at Chappaqua, according to an MTA spokesman. It crashed into the Jeep at around 6:30 p.m., causing a fire that engulfed the front of the train and the car.
Early reports said the driver of the Jeep was one of the six people killed, while five others were train passengers.
Surviving passengers on the train were evacuated through the rear train car, with those not taken to hospital transported to The Cliffs at Valhalla, a rock-climbing gym near the scene, police Sgt. Michael McGuinn of the Mount Pleasant, N.Y., Police Department said.
