Bronx Girl Killed by Metro North Train

A Bronx teenager was fatally hit by a Metro North train yesterday afternoon. Sixteen year old LaToya Jimenez was on her way to a job in White Plains when she somehow lost her balance, possibly fainting, and fell from the platform. Witnesses described her as seeming disoriented and that she did get up but fell again. Others believe she had been leaning over the platform.

Her father told reporters that she didn't have any medical conditions that would cause her imbalance. LaToya was also one of the Lehman High School students whose musical production of Chicago was put into jeopardy when their teacher didn't get the rights.
