An LIRR train heading east on the Ronkonkoma line plowed into an SUV stopped on the tracks just west of the Central Islip station at about 4:30 a.m. this morning. A man inside the SUV was killed, and Newsday reports that the collision "caused the vehicle to erupt in a fireball." There were 31 passengers aboard the train at the time, and none of them were injured. But service on the Ronkonkoma line has been suspended in both directions between Farmingdale and Ronkonkoma this morning.
