Thirteen people were injured, two seriously, when a train derailed east of
Jamaica, officials say.

They say the Long Island Rail Road’s 10:43 a.m. train departing from Grand
Central to Hempstead derailed around 11:15 a.m. A total of eight cars derailed.

The derailment will cause service changes during tonight’s evening rush and
Friday’s morning rush, the LIRR says.

Officials say the train was traveling at 54 mph and derailed at a speed
transition point near the busy Jamaica hub.
Customers on board the train were transferred to an alternate train. Eastbound
trains are bypassing Queens Village and Hollis.
One passenger told News 12 her neck hurt, and several people were seen being put
onto stretchers and taken into ambulances. One man told News 12, “I felt like I
was going to die.”
People on the trains had to wait around 90 minutes before a rescue train arrived
to safely get them to the nearest station.
Both the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and FDNY say they were on the
scene within minutes.
MTA officials say the restoration process is more involved and not merely
rerailing a train. They say it will cause delays through at least Friday
morning’s commute.
Transportation officials say the investigation is in its “very early stages,”
but News 12 is told “speed was not a factor.”

Officials say it is too early to know if there was any equipment malfunction.
