NJ Transit train hit, kills pedestrian
Trains resumed rolling on New Jersey Transit’s North Jersey Coast Line after a train struck and killed a man on the tracks.
The New York-bound train was carrying approximately 125 passengers and crew when the incident took place just west of the Hazlet station around 5:25 a.m. Tuesday.
The man’s name has not been released.
NJ Transit operated bus service between Red Bank and Matawan-Aberdeen because service was suspended for several hours in both directions.
