BUSHWICK, Brooklyn (PIX11) – An MTA worker died after going into cardiac arrest on an L train in Brooklyn, sources said.
The 44-year-old subway track worker, identified by the Transport Workers Union as Ricardo Louis, collapsed while performing his job duties at the Morgan Avenue stop, according to TWU.
He was found unconscious and unresponsive around 3:10 a.m. and rushed to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, police said. He was found by his coworkers, who called 911 for help, according to a spokesperson for the MTA.
A spokesperson for the union said it will determine whether “any avoidable hazard contributed to this tragic death.”
“Transit work on the subway tracks is hazardous because of constant train traffic and because medical attention is not immediately available,” TWU Local 100 President Richard Davis said in a statement. “TWU Local has always fought for better working conditions”
