Trains collided in New Hyde Park, NY: 33 injured
NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Crews are still on the scene after a LIRR commuter train derailed in New Hyde Park late Saturday night, injuring 33 people.
The train derailed after 9 p.m. when a commuter train collided with a work train.
The impact sent the first three cars of the 12-car passenger train off the tracks. The work train then caught fire.
MTA chairman Thomas Prendergast said 33 people were injured, 26 customers and seven employees. There were approximately 600 passengers on board.
This morning, service remains suspended in both directions with delays on other branches. The Port Jefferson line is offering shuttle buses to bypass the area to get commuters to where they need to go.
