LIRR Delays from Mineola Due to Fatal Accident

Person struck and killed at Carle Place train station.

Long Island Rail Road riders going between Mineola and Carle Place are facing delays due to a fatality on the tracks.

According to the MTA, a person was struck and killed by an early-morning train at the Carle Place station. The incident occurred on the western end of the eastbound platform near the intersection of Cherry Lane and Atlantic Avenue at around 9:30 a.m.

After a temporary suspension of service between Hicksville and Mineola, LIRR trains are moving on a single-track, causing delays of up to one hour.

The 54 year old male victim has not been identified and the exact circumstances of the accident are under investigation by the MTA police.

Wow, that's pretty harsh, I'm sure that guy feels bad about costing you maybe an hour. Maybe when he's identified you can go meet his family and get your apology.
If you're so short of time maybe you can save a few minutes by keeping your horrible selfishness to yourself and out of these comments. By the way, now you owe me a few minutes.

So sorry that you were inconveinenced! Maybe you can explain your side to his 12 year old daughter who's father is now never coming home again.

Appears by your non-stop posts on this site you have a lot of nothing relevant to say,which is why you’re comments are always deleted. It is sad to see HEARTLESS people post such disgusting comments.

Funny how neither comment addressed John's point. A good one BTW...

Vincent - I don't care what the cost per child is. The actual costs are for teacher andRead More administrator salaries, benefits, pensions etc. Patti - many of the parents and children are living in apartments and houses, some legally and some not, but definitely not in houses that they own. SLJ - Thank you!

Ms. Purdy: This is also a act that Mr. Herling should be refering to. An article in the WillistonRead More Times dated Friday May 24, 2013 states: "The Herricks Board of Education is hopeful that a bill drafted by state Sen. Jack Martins(R-Min) to financially penalize landlords who create illegal apartments will stop the practice in the Hericks school district. The bill in it's current form would empower the school district or a municipality in a school district to bring legal action against a landlord who creates an "unapproved conversion" of a single family or two family house to recoup the expense of educating children in those living situations in district shools." And if you don't think the same is happening in the Mineola School District I don't know what to say other than it's your tax money.
