15 Year Old Autistic Boy Passes Away After Subway Surfing In Manhattan; Mother Says He Was Dared And Would’ve Never Did Anything So Dangerous On His Own!

Cousins! A New York City mother is mourning the death of her 15 year old son after he tragically fell victim to subway surfing early Friday morning!

According to the Daily News, the incident took place around 11AM as Ka’Von Wooden subway surfed on top of a Manhattan bound J-train. Reports read that as the train entered Delancey Street/Essex Street station on the Lower East Side the teenager fell.

“It’s not something he would do on his own,” said Ka’Von’s mother Y’Vonda Maxwell, 53. “He was a kid on the spectrum. He got in on the wrong crowd. He was bullied because he was autistic.”

Sadly Ka’Von fell under the train and made connection with the third rail. It has been stated that when paramedics arrived he was unconscious and had endured severe head trauma. He was pronounced dead on the scene. Officials state there were no children at the scene when he fell.

Yvonne says her son also suffered from issues with his legs. “His legs gave out in school last week and he had to come home.”

Kavon’s brother tells local news that he was a major fan of trains. “He was an avid fan of trains — subways, locomotives,” he said. “He was an active part of the train community. He took the trains everywhere. He took them just to explore. Everybody is broken up by this.”

Our thoughts and prayers remain with the family!
