A 13-year-old girl died while surfing on a New York subway

NEW YORK (Gray News) – A 13-year-old girl died Sunday while surfing on a New York subway, reports People.

The New York City Police Department responded to a 911 call reporting that a train had struck a person at the 111 Street subway station.

A 13-year-old girl, identified by police as Krystel Romero, was pronounced dead at the scene. A 12-year-old girl was taken to hospital in critical condition.

During a press conference, Metropolitan Transportation Authority President and CEO Janno Lieber said, “Look, it’s not like a video game. You won’t get another chance; you can’t just restart your computer. This is one chance – if you do something stupid, you will lose your life. Please, parents, teachers and other caregivers, make sure your children understand that this is not a game. They can’t risk their lives.”

Krystel’s death is the sixth subway surfing-related fatality on New York’s public transportation system this year, according to Krystel. People.
