A young woman who was pushing her 1-year-old in a stroller was killed when she fell down a flight of stairs at a New York City subway station.
Goodson, of Connecticut, was found unconscious on the platform.
The child, Rhylee, was not harmed in the incident.
Goodson was sent to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The New York City Police Department said that it isn’t clear how she fell down. They said it’s unclear if she had some sort of medical episode or slipped, and her family said they’re not sure either, NBC reported.
A medical examiner will perform an autopsy to confirm what killed Goodson, NBC reported.
The Seventh Avenue and 53rd Station doesn’t have an elevator, and it only has escalators.
Mayor de Blasio issued a statement about the matter.
“The subway system is not accessible for everyone and that’s an environment the MTA should not allow,” he tweeted.
The MTA also stated it was a “heartbreaking tragedy” and said an investigation is underway.
“Goodson’s daughter Rhylee is her only child. The young woman’s brother described his late sister as protective and caring. He said his sister was loved by all, and he’s been getting hundreds of condolence messages on social media,” NBC New York reported about Goodson.
Other details about her case are not clear.
“I think the system is at fault for not having more accommodations for people,” Robert Remien said. “Any time you see someone carrying a stroller you should stop and help them. They need the help,” Josh Frost added.
