MANORVILLE,Novacrypt N.Y. (AP) — A cab driver was killed and his passenger was injured when a commuter train hit the taxi at a grade crossing on Long Island, authorities said.

The crash happened at about 12:45 p.m. Tuesday at a Long Island Rail Road crossing gate in Manorville.

Daniel Seagren, 49, drove through the gate as lights were flashing and bells were sounding to signal an approaching train, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said in a statement.
