Man Hospitalized After Being Struck By Princeton Dinky Shuttle

MERCER COUNTY, NJ - A man was hospitalized after being struck by Princeton Dinky shuttle on Tuesday night, according to NJ Transit.

Shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday night, NJ Transit’s Princeton Dinky shuttle train No. 4177, traveling westbound and scheduled to arrive at Princeton Station at 9:59 p.m., struck a male pedestrian in West Windsor, Mercer County, said NJ Transit spokesperson Nancy Snyder.

The man fled the area but was found nearby with non-life-threatening injuries, Snyder said. He was transported to the hospital by local EMS.

There were no customers on board the train at the time of the incident and no reported injuries to crew members, Snyder said.

Princeton rail service was temporarily suspended with substitute bus service provided to accommodate customers. Service has since resumed.

New Jersey Transit Police are currently investigating the incident.
