A tractor trailer carrying two construction vehicles smacked into a Long Island Railroad train trestle in Lynbrook Thursday evening.

The accident, which occurred around 4:15 p.m. on Sunrise Highway, dumped one of the construction vehicles, a road paver, onto the street.

Lynbrook Police and volunteer firefighters responded, along with Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials and the Nassau County Fire Marshal.
