Long Island

The plight of the islanders is widespread in most remote villages within the country.

Long Island is situated in the far-flung island of Rai Coast District under Saidor Local Level Government (LLG). The estimated population is about 5, 000 who come under three (3) wards, under Saidor LLG, which are wards 32, 33 and 34.

The plane crashed with two people on board at the railway crossing between the Hicksville and Bethpage stations of the Long Island Rail Road around 7:45 a.m., authorities said. Their names were not immediately released.

Nobody on the ground was hurt.

The limousine was leaving a winery and making a U-turn at a blinking traffic signal to head west when the pickup truck collided with it, Southold Police Chief Martin Flatley told Newsday. The driver of the pickup truck hit the brakes before the crash but could not stop in time, Flatley said.

He said all four people killed were women. Their names were not immediately released.
