A subway worker was killed and another was seriously injured at Hoyt-Schermerhorn Station in New York. Marvin Franklin, a 22-year-veteran, was hit fatally by a G train and Jeffrey Hill was seriously injured. The two men were going to pick up a dolly on another train. While the G train's operator saw the men, he was unable to stop the train in time. Franklin was dragged by the train. An official said that the only other way to have removed the dolly "would have involved taking the dolly up the platform up the platform stairs, through the station and down another set of stairs to the opposite platform."
