7:09 a.m. – Glen Rock Officers assisted the NJ Transit Police at the Rock Road Bergen County Line Railroad Crossing on Rock Road after a vehicle was struck by a train. There were no injuries. The engineer was not immediately aware of the collision as the head end of the train had already cleared the crossing. The driver of a blue 2015 Honda, a 59-year-old Glen Rock man, was issued a summons by the Transit Officer for disregard of a railroad signal and gates. State law requires motorist to stop between 15 and 50 feet of a railroad crossing when a signal warns of an approaching train. The wrecked vehicle was towed from the scene.
