More than 500 people were aboard an Amtrak train Sunday when it struck and killed a person who was trespassing on the tracks in New Jersey.
The deadly crash occurred just west of the Hamilton station around 5:45 p.m., according to an Amtrak spokesman.
The Northeast Regional service train was heading to Boston from Washington D.C. with 541 passengers, along with crew members, on board when the accident occurred, he said.
No passengers nor crew members reported any injuries.
The train was held at the scene while local authorities investigated. A single track remained open, allowing other trains to pass, however, there were some congestion-related delays through the evening, the spokesman said.
No word yet on the victim's identity.
