Multiple casualties in New Jersey train crash

At least one person has been confirmed dead and a hundred people
injured following a train crash outside of Manhattan.

A commuter train crashed into Hoboken station, in New Jersey, during rush hour.

It's believed the train did not slow down as it approached the station.

But at this stage it is thought to have been an accident rather than
an act of terrorism.

Joseph Scott, from Jersey City Medical Center where many of the
injured have been taken, gave an update on some of the more serious
injuries.
