One confirmed dead and 100 injured after train crashes into station wall

One person is confirmed dead and at least 100 have been injured after a train crashed ‘at full pace’ into a train station platform today.

The commuter train crashed through New Jersey Transit Hoboken station during rush hour.

U.S. media is reporting that at least three people have been killed in the collision, but that figure has not been verified.

Most of those who have been injured are in a critical condition according to a New Jersey Transit spokesman.

Many passengers were this afternoon still trapped in the wreckage of the carriages while several people on the platform were badly injured.
Hoboken is at the end of the line and is a commuter station with many passengers ending their journey there to get a boat across the Hudson to New York City.

Linda Albelli, 62, who was on the train, said ‘I noticed, “he’s not slowing up, we’re going too fast,” and with that there was this tremendous crash.’
Passengers described the train as going ‘at full force’ into the station, knocking down a large section of the building.
