SILVER SPRING, MD — A teenage girl died Friday while riding on the outside of a train car en route to a Silver Spring Metro station, the transit agency confirmed.

"We are deeply saddened to learn that a teenage girl lost her life this morning while riding outside of a train car en route to the Silver Spring station. Our thoughts are with the victim’s family," Metro said in a statement.

It's unclear what caused the girl to die or where authorities located her.

"It's unclear what caused the girl to die"

My first inclination would be that it was being struck or run over by the train. Probably trying to be just as daring as the boys.

It's a shame to see a young person die in such a foolish and senseless way. May she rest in peace.

Usually these are boys that die this way.

SOP in third world countries, this is how illegal aliens are accustomed to travel. Isn’t diversity wonderful?

I don’t know, but this isn’t the first time lately that we’ve heard of people trying this here in the DC area. If I recall, the last time they were on top of the train.

Sad - but to say there was a ‘victim’ in this situation is crazy. Maybe a ‘victim’ of one’s on sad stupidity.

Well, they gave her some thoughts. That should make it all better.

Societal decay.

Train surfing, stealing mail are not new in the slightest.

The societal decay is the lunacy that accompanies these stories.
