It appears the two were inside the tunnel at the time they were hit.

HAMILTON HEIGHTS, Manhattan -- A man and woman were struck and killed by a subway train in Manhattan Friday.The train was entering the 145th Street station around 10:37 a.m.

"It's lunacy that people are voluntarily intruding on subway tracks, requiring transit workers to risk their own safety looking for encampments day in, day out," MTA Chief Safety and Security Officer Pat Warren said."We shouldn't have to keep saying it: tracks are dangerous and walking on them is illegal, obviously life-threatening and can impact thousands of other riders. As Mayor Adams says, there has to be a better alternative for people who need housing and help.
