MONSTERS BALL Screenwriter hit by NYC Train

Academy Award nominated screenwriter Will Rokos is in critical, but stable condition after getting hit by a speeding New York City subway train as he leaned over the platform.

MONSTERS BALL screenwriter Will Rokos has survived getting hit by the train although he remains in Hospital. 

Rokos, who won an Academy Award nomination for the drama, was in critical, but stable condition at Bellevue Hospital Sunday — one day after the accident.

A Northbound No. 2 train struck Rokos inside the 14th Street station Saturday afternoon. He was sent flying back onto the platform, where traingoers urged him to stay still. Officials told the Post he was semi-conscious and alert when police arrived.

The train’s driver spotted Rokos and slammed on his breaks, but couldn’t stop before five cars had pulled into the station.
