A River Line train crashed into a tree on the tracks Monday morning, killing the train driver and injuring 23 passengers.

The passengers' injuries were not considered life-threatening and were described as “mostly minor,” according to a statement from NJ Transit.

It said the accident occurred around 6:04 a.m., about an hour before sunrise, when the Camden-bound train carrying 42 passengers was north of Roebling station.

Officials raise concerns: Crime is a problem along the River Line in Burlington County. But officials have a plan.

The River Line schedule shows that the first southbound train of the day left Trenton at 5:45 a.m. and was near Roebling station at the time of the accident.

The light rail line suspended service in both directions between Florence and Trenton because a tree fell on the tracks.

A replacement bus service was offered.

“We will attempt to reopen as quickly as possible once the on-site investigation is complete,” an NJ Transit representative said Monday morning.

Seventeen injured passengers were taken to Virtua Hospitals in Willingboro and Mount Holly.

“A handful” were admitted, but most were evaluated for non-life-threatening conditions such as whiplash, headaches and body aches, said Virtua spokesman Daniel Moise.

Further details, including the name of the operator, were not immediately available from NJ Transit.

This story will be updated.
