Our hearts are going out to the family of Helen McDonald-Phalon, who was killed in New York City this weekend after she was hit by an oncoming subway train.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Helen was “waiting for a downtown 6 train at the Union Square subway station around 3 a.m. when she was pulled under the moving train after getting caught between the car and the platform.”

She was found unconscious and unresponsive with severe body trauma on the track floor, according to NYPD. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

A medical examiner will determine her cause of death. A GoFundMe page to collect money for her funeral expenses was published has since raised more than $4,500.
