Debris Crashes Onto Car From Subway Tracks Again, Pol Says

A piece of debris crashed onto a car from an elevated subway track in Queens — less than a month after a beam fell from the tracks and pierced a car windshield, narrowly missing the driver, a local politician said.

The debris fell from the 7 train tracks at Roosevelt Avenue and 62nd Street in Woodside, Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer tweeted Wednesday.

“For the second time in two weeks a piece of debris has come crashing down on a vehicle Below tracks on Roosevelt Ave., this time at 62nd street,” he tweeted, adding that the car was “occupied and moving.”

“No one injured but someone is going to get killed here @MTA!” he added.

It wasn’t immediately clear when the debris fell onto the vehicle. The MTA said it is on the scene and investigating the incident.

Toward the end of February, a beam from the same track crashed through the windshield of a moving car near Roosevelt Avenue and 65th Street in Woodside.

The driver wasn’t injured, but a witness said he was “shaking” and “shocked” after the incident.

The MTA at the time said it was “conducting a full investigation into what happened.”
