The MTA said in a statement:
“This is a difficult day. Last night, we tragically lost a member of our MTA family. Moet McCullum, a New York City Transit construction flagger, was struck and killed by a D train at 161 St-Yankee Stadium station just after 11:30. The incident is under investigation. I was at the hospital last night, and this morning I was at the scene, and I met with her family. I have also spoken with Chair Lieber and TWU Local 100 President John Chiarello — all of us are heartbroken. I ask that we all keep Ms. McCullum and her family in our thoughts and prayers.”
