Yesterday morning there was a terribly sad and shocking accident at the Croton-Harmon railway station, as Theresa Fiorentino, the operator of the newstand in the station was struck and killed by an Amtrak train.
Like everyone else who ever commuted to New York, I saw the lady all the time back when I was a commuter.
Mrs. Fiorentino was blind. While it’s not mentioned in the article below, the authorities believe that after going down in the elevator to the train track level to have her accustomed cigarette, she got back on the elevator, and the doors closed and then re-opened. She evidently thought she was back on the second floor of the station and stepped out, and then feel onto the tracks.
She was standing when the train hit and killed her instantly.
