| A commuter train has crashed into a rail station in the city of Hoboken, in the US state of New Jersey. | |
| The New Jersey emergency management system reports more than 100 people have been injured and others are trapped. | |

| Ben Fairclough, an eyewitness who was at the station, told the BBC the train appeared to have completely gone off the track. | |

| "There were people sitting down with blood coming from their head. There were lots of injuries." | |
| The New Jersey Transit posted on Twitter the service out of the Hoboken station would be suspended due to the crash. | |
