Harlem Line Back In Service After Car Cleared From Tracks

PLEASANTVILLE, NY — A 20-year-old Pleasantville driver was taken to Westchester Medical Center after a series of crashes ended on the train tracks in downtown Pleasantville on Friday.

"Fortunately nobody was seriously injured," police Lt. Jesse Wollman told Patch.

The multi-car accident unfolded at 11:45 a.m. It started with a minor accident on Grant Street, then the car continued into Memorial Plaza, across the lanes into the parking lot, striking two parked cars before going across the grass, through a chain link fence and down the embankment onto the Metro-North tracks.

The driver apparently had a medical emergency, Wollman said. His injuries appeared to be minor; he was taken to the hospital for evaluation.

The Harlem Line reported 40-minute delays until the tracks were cleared.

At midday, village officials warned residents to avoid the Memorial Plaza area while emergency personnel were in the process of clearing the accident.
