New Jersey Transit has identified the engineer who was behind the controls of a commuter train that crashed at a station, killing one person and injuring more than 100 others. ___

A former employer of a woman killed when a New Jersey Transit commuter train crashed at a station says it's "profoundly saddened" by her death. New Jersey's emergency management system was reporting more than 100 people injured, while the New Jersey transit service said there were "multiple" injuries, ABC News reported. Images from the scene show damage to the rail car and extensive structural damage, but there's no official word on the number of injuries. “It was for a couple seconds, but it felt like an eternity.”



He said the train was crowded, particularly the first two cars, because they make for an easy exit into the Hoboken station and onto the Path train. “A lot of people were bleeding; one guy was crying.”

The train came to a halt in a covered area between the station’s indoor waiting area and the platform. "People were running up the stairs to get out," with "others pushing to get through first," WFAN Radio sportscaster John Minko, who was at the station, told Fox News. Train #1614 was arriving from Spring Valley when it struck the Hoboken terminal building at around 8.45 am (6.15 pm), New Jersey Transit said in a statement, adding that all services were currently suspended in and out of the station. Authorities had previously said one person was killed and more than 100 people were injured. He said he had been contacted by the White House and was working with federal, state and local authorities to “make sure this investigation is seamless and coordinated.”

Structural damage and the possible presence of asbestos had prevented investigators from accessing the train cars, Bella Dinh-Zarr, vice chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, told reporters. "Due to a NJ Transit train derailment at #Hoboken Station, NJ, all PATH train service in and out of Hoboken Station is suspended," New York's official emergency information system tweeted. "My 30-minute commute is turning into at least an hour and a half," said Steve Malfitano, who had to go into New York just to get from one New Jersey city to another. “We plowed, I mean, right through the bumper.”

Investigators will be looking for similarities to a 2011 PATH commuter train crash at Hoboken that injured several dozen people, Dinh-Zarr said. The New Jersey Transit train ran off the end of its track as it pulled into the Hoboken station during rush hour Thursday morning, smashing through a concrete-and-steel bumper.
A commuter train accident at the Hoboken Terminal in New Jersey leaves one woman dead and 114 others injured. Major structural damage occurs to the station with portions of the roof collapsed.
