From Times Wire Reports
An empty subway train was backed into an occupied one, injuring 20 people, transit officials said.
The occupied train had pulled into one of the city’s busiest stations moments before the empty train backed into it. Most of the 75-foot-long rear car of the empty train came off the tracks and about one-third of its aluminum shell was pulled apart.
Witnesses said the operator of the occupied train began screaming for people to get off a few seconds before the collision.
