It's being reported that a Commuter train had crashed into a rail station in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Three people are confirmed dead with at least 100 injured persons when a New Jersey Transit train crashed into the station earlier this morning. Little is known about the cause of this incident but preliminary reports from Train security officers suggest the crash was accidental or caused by operator's error. Though they stressed it was too early to conclude on any issue now.
One of the passengers, Jamie Weatherhead-Sal told NBC 4 New York " the train just felt like it never stopped. it didn't slow down, it didn't brake". However, some claimed that the train seemed to be moving faster than the usual speed limit and it didn't seem to bother them before the impact. NBC staffer, Aracely Hillebrecht said " I was standing 30 feet from it. I heard screeching and we saw the train and someone yelled " run". We heard the train crash and heard the sound of water as the roof collapsed, people were scrambling and running. I saw people who were hurt and couldn't walk".

The New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said " The one thing we do know is that obviously it was traveling at a fairly high rate of speed". More and more injured persons are being rushed to Jersey City Medical Center, including some traumatised patient.
Several investigations are currently pushing on and we will have more updates.
