Wantagh Man Strikes Pedestrian in Lindy

Lindenhurst woman in serious condition Wednesday after being hit at West Hoffman and New York avenues.

A Lindenhurst woman is in serious condition after she was struck by a van on West Hoffman and New York avenues Wednesday evening.

Suffolk County Police said Fareh Hussain, 51, of Lindenhurst, was walking across West Hoffman Avenue at 5:45 p.m. when she was struck by a 2004 Ford van near the intersection with New York Avenue.

Hussein was transported to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip where she was reportedly listed in critical but stable condition.

The driver of the van, Michael Griffin, 50, of Wantagh, and his passenger, Thomas Caputo, 36, of Massapequa Park, were not injured in the accident.

Suffolk County Police are continuing their investigation and have impounded the van for a safety check.

Detectives ask anyone who may have witnessed this crash to contact the First Squad at 631-854-8152.

$20 million of the $40 million will be spent on adding a pocket track, presumably east ofRead More Massapequa. Currently, trains are reversed east of the Wantagh interlocking, and while the engineer walks through the train, it blocks the track. This addition of a "pocket track" will probably also help Wantagh commuters some times, just as an emergency pull-over space on the LIE helps.

True, true, I'm sure there's a political payoff/payback here somewhere.
