One person is dead and another is critically injured as the subway surfing trend continues in New York City.
NEW YORK -- While the ages of the victims have not been released, the NYPD says two females were subway surfing when they fell between the tracks and were struck by a southbound 7 train just before 11 p.m. Sunday near the 111th Street station in Corona , Queens . One of the victims died and the other was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital in critical condition, police said.
His loved ones said he celebrated his birthday just days before. One friend called him a 'ray of sunshine,' adding, 'he had a long life to live.'Last month, 11-year-old Cayden Thompson died while subway surfing on the G train. His grief-stricken uncle, a teenager himself, vowed to never try the trend again. 'I got hooked on it. I'd seen videos online, decided to do it,' said 15-year-old Christian Vega.
