She was killed inside the 207th Street subway station in Inwood, police said.

MANHATTAN — A woman was fatally struck by a southbound 1 train in Inwood Monday morning, officials said.

The woman, whose age was not immediately released, was on the tracks when the train struck her in the 207th Street subway station near 10th Avenue about 10:30 a.m., MTA and NYPD officials said.

She was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.

NYPD officials said they were still trying to figure out how she came to be on the tracks.

Here, is my comment to this sad report as it appears on DNAinfo:

          RIP.

I await the MTA's release of the tape from the forward-looking cam installed in all subway train operators' booths.

You know, the ones that record these "walking on the tracks" people, the tapes used by MTA lawyers to prove the "accident" was the fault of the victim. The tapes routinely released to New York media and readily available for public viewing.

Oh wait!

I forgot.

There are no such cameras.

Gee, I wonder why.
