A New York City Transit Authority investigation has been opened after a Metropolitan Transportation Authority employee was fatally struck by a downtown “D” train near the Yankee Stadium station in the Bronx. The worker, who was performing duties on the tracks, was hit during the early morning hours, prompting an immediate shutdown of service on the line and a thorough safety review. Officials say they are examining whether proper protocols were followed and whether any equipment failures contributed to the tragedy. The incident has reignited calls from unions and safety advocates for stronger protections for transit workers who work in hazardous, on‑track environments.
