DEVELOPING- (FOX)-At least one person was killed, more than 100 people were hurt and others remained trapped after a train slammed into a busy station in Hoboken, N.J., during the Thursday morning commute, investigators said.
Many of the injured were in critical condition, New Jersey Transit spokeswoman Jennifer Nelson told reporters. The victim who died was female, a law enforcement source told Fox News.
Witnesses said the train never slowed down, crashing through barriers into the terminal’s reception area. Photos showed major structural damage to the Hoboken terminal, including a crumbled wall and mangled beams.
More than 100 patients needed treatment, emergency workers said. Witnesses said a woman was pinned under concrete and many other people were bleeding.
Hoboken has the highest percentage of transit ridership of any city in the country. More than 50,000 people use the terminal daily.
