A woman was struck by a train at the Long Island Railroad’s Great Neck station Monday in what officials said may have been a suicide attempt.
A Great Neck Vigilant Fire Company officials said the train’s conductor reported seeing a woman lying flat across the eastbound tracks around 11:15 a.m. but was unable to halt the train to avoid hitting her.
The 65-year-old woman was discovered beneath the train’s fourth and fifth cars and taken to North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, where officials said she was treated for head trauma.
Nassau County police at the scene declined to comment on the incident.
Officials said she is expected to make a full recovery.
She also appeared to sustain scrapes and bruises from the train’s impact.
No further description of the woman was provided.
The conductor declined to comment on this story.
LIRR service on the Port Washington line was temporarily halted from 11:25 a.m. until 1:03 p.m. Service is back and running on schedule.
