The Sunday night tragedy follows by just four days the subway surfing death of a 13-year-boy in Queens.
In the latest incident, the girls were surfing atop a Manhattan-bound No. 7 train when they fell off near the elevated 111th St. station in Corona.
They were struck by the train when they fell.
One girl died at the scene and the other was rushed by medics to Elmhurst Hospital, where she is in critical condition. A police source said the survivor may have fractured her skull and has bleeding on the brain.
About 10 p.m. Wednesday, Adolfo Sanabria Sorzano fell off the top of an M train and landed on the tracks of the the Forest Ave. station in Ridgewood, where he was found dead.
The boy was doing an “awful” TikTok challenge, his mother said in a GoFundMe post to raise funds to cover his funeral expenses.
“Adolfo was a child full of life, with dreams and hopes,” the mom said on GoFundMe. “His passing has left a void that is impossible to fill.”
The next morning, a 20-year-old man was injured after falling off a train in the Bronx.
Police said the man was subway surfing when he collided with a structure and fell off the No. 5 train near the East 180th Street subway station, police said.
He was hospitalized and is recovering.
