Man Struck and Killed by LIRR Train
|
BELLMORE, N.Y. (AP) -- A man was killed by a Long Island Rail Road train after he apparently jumped off the platform onto the tracks, possibly to retrieve something he dropped.
LIRR spokesman Rich Mendelson says the unidentified 22-year-old man was hit at 4:35 a.m. Wednesday by an unoccupied eastbound train at the Bellmore station in Nassau County.
Authorities are investigating the case as an accident and not a possible suicide.
The accident caused residual delays that affected 17 trains through the morning rush hour. The system was back on schedule shortly after 8 a.m.
