Stalled Car on Willis Avenue Tracks Causes LIRR Delays Monday

Service restored at about 8:30 p.m.

A stalled car caused about a 30 minute delay on the Long Island Rail Road Monday night in Mineola.

At about 7:50 p.m. a two-door sedan became stalled on the tracks at the at-grade crossing on Willis Avenue.

The driver of the car was able to exit the vehicle.

The MTA Police responded to the scene and held train traffic until the car was able to be removed from the tracks at about 8:10 p.m.

Nassau County Police blocked off the intersection of Willis Avenue and Second Street while crews removed the vehicle from the tracks.

Service was suspended between the Mineola and East Williston stations until about 8:25 p.m.

There were no injuries reported at the scene.

I'm sorry Marie but there is no information about when the project will actually start. TheRead More developer had requested an extension from the board at a previous meeting and we do not know of a firm start date. When we do receive one, we will most certainly publish it.
