1 train derailed at 122nd Street and Broadway

The train is full of people.

It appears two wheels of the train are off the track.

As a result, number 1 service is currently suspended between 168th Street & 96th Street.

It's not yet known what caused the train to derail.

The train is at least five cars long and is partially inside the tunnel.

And maybe the A... which I think runs on a separate express track, but might still be effected.
