A train operator was killed and multiple others hurt after a tree fell on an NJ Transit train Monday morning, Oct. 14 in Burlington County.

The incident happened around 6 a.m. on the River LINE train, which had been heading north from Trenton when it struck a tree north of the Roebling Station in Mansfield Township, an NJ Transit spokesperson said.

Nineteen of the 45 customers on board suffered minor injuries and five suffered moderate injuries, all non-life-threatening.

6abc says the tree appears to have fallen on the train. Footage from the scene shows a chunk of the tree under the train and heavy damage to the top of the train.

River LINE service was suspended in both directions between Florence and Trenton. A substitute bus service is being provided.
