More than 100 people injured and multiple passengers trapped in Hoboken, New Jersey, train crash - ABC News, citing official
=========
UPDATES:
A commuter train in New Jersey has crashed into a train station in Hoboken, N.J., resulting in multiple injuries and heavy damage.
Nancy Solomon of New Jersey Public Radio and WNYC is on the scene, and says she can see 20 to 30 people who appear to be injured. About four of the injured people in her area are unable to walk, she says.
"I got off my train on the way into work, and as I was walking through the station we could see that a train had come through the place where it's supposed to stop, all the way into the station — not into the waiting room but into the outdoor part where people transfer," she tells our Newscast unit.
"About a fourth of the roof is collapsed," she says, and water was spraying from the damaged station.
It's unclear if there are any fatalities, she says.
Solomon spoke to one man who had been a passenger on the train who crashed, in the second car. He said the train didn't seem to be braking as it approached the station, and he braced himself for impact.
"People all around him were bloodied," Solomon says. "The train went dark after it crashed. People were screaming, and then they helped each other — there was really no assistance — they helped each other off the train.
Solomon arrived on the site shortly after the crash and didn't witness the incident.
There is no indication of what may have caused the accident. The Federal Railroad Administration has investigators en route to the Hoboken New Jersey train crash, NPR's David Schaper reports, and the National Transportation Safety Board is gathering information on the crash.
A radio anchor who witnessed the crash told CBS that the train "simply did not stop. It went right through the barriers and into the reception area."
Rail service in and out of Hoboken train station has been suspended, New Jersey Transit has announced.
