A Septa driver was in a critical condition and four other people were hospitalized after a high -speed train in Norristown had fallen in Montgomery County on Sunday morning, officers said.

The incident occurred around 9:45 a.m. when an NHSL train collided a car in a safety bump in the Norristown Transportation Center, said the septa spokeswoman Andrew Busch of the line.

Busch said that the operator and four passengers were injured and brought to the local medical centers. A driver suffered head injuries and was flown to Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, he added.
