Man struck by E train in Forest Hills

 By Thomas Tracy, Keldy Ortiz

A 58-year-old man walking along the tracks in a Queens train station was struck and killed by an oncoming train early Saturday, cops said.

The northbound E train slammed into the victim at the 75th Ave. Station near Queens Blvd. in Forest Hills about 3:10 a.m., officials said.

The man died at the scene, and his name was not immediately released.

Witnesses told police they had seen the victim walking along the track bed right moments [sic] before he was hit.

It was not immediately clear why he was on the tracks, cops said.

Right.

Got it.

People are constantly going for strolls on the MTAs subway tracks.

Especially in the early morning hours.

Why in 2012 more than twenty of these "walkers" were struck and killed by trains.

Sadly for anyone interested in the truth, there are no "dash cams" in train operators' cabs.

Gladly for the MTA lawyers (and their NYPD flunkies) there are no "dash cams."

A cam might have revealed that this so-called "walker" had actually been shoved off the platform by thugs.
