THE RECORD
A NJ Transit train struck and killed a woman on tracks east of the Ridgewood station Saturday morning.
The Waldwick-bound train struck the woman, who has not been identified, at 8 a.m. Saturday morning, according to NJ Transit spokeswoman Jennifer Nelson.
Nelson said the woman was trespassing in the area where the Bergen and Main lines intersect when she was struck.
The woman was pronounced dead at 8:37 a.m.
Nelson called it a “confirmed fatality,” and said that only a medical examiner could determine the incident was a suicide.
“As to what occurred, we don’t know,” Nelson said. “She was on the tracks, we don’t know how she got there.”
