Next to getting your foot run over by an 18-wheeler while waiting to cross at an intersection, this is probably everyone’s second-worst fear<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A subway train roared underground with some doors open, sources told the Daily News yesterday, describing a frightening ride for the passengers.<\/p>\n

The Manhattan-bound A train left the Grant Ave. station in Brooklyn with some doors open late Saturday night and didn’t stop until the first few cars reached the next station, at Euclid Ave., a transit source said.<\/p>\n

“The doors were in fact open,” another source said.<\/p>\n

The Transit Authority has launched an investigation, said TA spokesman Paul Fleuranges.<\/p>\n

“This incident should NOT have happened,” Fleuranges said in a statement. “If it happened as you describe it . . . then there were some very serious violations of our operating rules and procedures. We are all relieved there were no injuries to our customers or crew.”<\/p>\n

The train was taken to a TA yard for a battery of tests, and the crew was taken off the rails, Fleuranges said. Both the motorman and conductor were given drug and alcohol tests, a standard investigatory move.<\/p>\n

According to the transit source, the conductor told supervisors that he left his cab at the Grant Ave. station to see what was preventing a door, or doors, from closing. As he walked from car to car, the train took off, he said. After some difficulty, the conductor contacted the motorman by intercom and the train was halted.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
