Truck oops: Notify NYC sent out this message, "A vehicle struck a subway platform at 172nd St. and Southern Blvd. in BX. Disruptions on the 2 and 5 trains." And the MTA's NYC Transit Twitter says, "Crews working to cut trailer apart and away from the El @ 174th St & Southern Blvd (2,5). Hope to restore service soon after." But don't fear, 2 and 5 train riders, there is service...but there are delays: "2 & 5 restored in the Bronx between 149th St-Grand Concourse & E. 180th St. Truck removed, cables repaired. Expect delays."
