Posted on Sep 20, 2011

A Mount Kisco man was listed in critical condition after he was hit by a train at the Mount Kisco Metro-North station. The incident happened on Sunday.

Angel Arriago-Hernandez, 36, was standing close to the train tracks on the platform on Sunday when a train pulled into the station. The train, heading northbound, struck Arriago-Hernandez and threw him back onto the platform. Arriago-Hernandez was transported to the Westchester Medical Center in Valhala. He suffered serious head trauma.

The train platform has a yellow bumped line along its edge to warn passengers to keep away from the tracks. Metropolitan Transportation Authority police are investigating the incident at Metro-North where there is an average of one death each month over the last twenty years. In most cases, the accidents involving passengers have been determined to be suicide attempts.

The victim's cousin was interviewed and said Arriago-Hernandez was seen at church on Sunday. There have been no other details released by the investigating police.
