Overview
- Prenell Rousseau, 30, was struck by a Long Island Rail Road train east of Westbury station at about 5:38 a.m. Wednesday, according to MTA police.
- A preliminary investigation found no criminality, and law enforcement sources said he was jogging on or near the tracks in what appears to be an accident.
- About 100 riders on the Huntington–to–Atlantic Terminal train transferred to another train to continue their trips, and no passenger injuries were reported.
- Los Angeles court records show Eilish secured a three-year restraining order against Rousseau in 2020 after he appeared at her family home seven times and displayed what she described as erratic behavior; her attorney had sought a five-year order.
- Newsday reports the crash caused service disruptions and was the second LIRR fatality in March linked to people on the tracks, underscoring ongoing rail safety concerns.
