An eastbound Far Rockaway train struck a car that was illegally on the tracks near the West Broadway grade crossing at around 1:15 p.m., an MTA spokesperson told Daily Voice.
Nobody was injured in the ordeal, and the vehicle only suffered a clipped bumper.
A preliminary investigation found that the grade crossing was functioning as intended, according to the MTA.
LIRR Far Rockaway train service was temporarily suspended between Far Rockaway and Valley Stream while emergency workers responded. NICE buses were cross-honoring fares for LIRR ticket holders.
