Haverstraw, New Main St tracks. HPD & EMS for a train vs tractor trailer, trailer reportedly snapped in half. Haverstraw FD requested.

Statement By Rockland County Legislature Chairman Jay Hood Jr. On Today’s Truck-Train Accident In Haverstraw Village 

“I want to thank the Haverstraw Police Department for its swift action this morning in making sure the driver of the truck that was caught on the railroad tracks was out of the vehicle before the train collided with it. A video of the accident shows it may not have been a survivable crash.

This could have been a horrific tragedy, but smart thinking and quick action, including blocking other cars and pedestrians from entering the area, prevented that outcome. I’m sure the driver of the truck and the driver of the train are shook up and I hope they’ll both be okay. Thank you to everyone who went to the scene in case there were other victims. It’s no surprise to me, and I’m sure many others, that the community really pulled together because that is what Haverstraw is all about.”

Scammers are deceiving individuals with fake job offers, promising payments for completing tasks that ultimately don’t result in any compensation. These fraudsters often pose as legitimate companies to appear trustworthy, convincing people to share their personal information or work without receiving pay.

The New York State Sheriffs’ Association advises staying vigilant: ● Always confirm job offers directly with the company through official communication channels. ● Be cautious when sharing personal or financial details with unverified sources. ● If a job opportunity seems too perfect, it probably is.
