PHOTO: Woman Crushed By Subway Train After Fumbling With Her iPad

The woman who was crushed to death by a
subway train at Union Square on Saturday [July
12] lost her balance after fumbling with her iPad,
causing her to fall onto the tracks, officials said.
Aracelis Ayuso, 21, was waiting for a Brooklyn-
bound No. 4 train when she lost her grip on the
tablet around 3:30 p.m., cops said.
When the East Harlem resident tried to catch the
device, she apparently lost her footing, causing
her to tumble forward and land on the tracks
just as the train was coming.
The conductor spotted Ayuso’s body on the rails
and tried to stop the train as it was pulling into
the station, but it was too late.
Police originally thought Ayuso might have been
drunk when she fell but said Sunday there were
no obvious signs that she had been drinking. A
toxicology report is pending.
