PATERSON -- A person died after being hit by an express commuter train early Monday night, NJ Transit said.
The victim, identified as a trespasser, was hit around 5:05 p.m. by the Suffern, N.Y.-bound 1163 train out of Hoboken, the agency said. The victim, who was knocked from the railway right-of-way onto the street, was not identified and no information was immediately available about the person. The collision occurred just west of the Paterson station.
None of the more than 350 passengers and crew aboard were hurt. Passengers were ferried by bus to their destination.
NJ Transit said the train was being held at the station but there were no delays along the Main Line as of about 6 p.m. The train's next scheduled stop was in Ridgewood.
