A Queens man was fatally struck by a Long Island Rail Road train early Sunday morning, according to the MTA.
An MTA spokesperson said the man, identified as 62-year-old James Connor of Bayside, was struck by an LIRR train at the Woodside station in Queens at 2 a.m. Sunday.
Connor was killed by the impact, and emergency responders pronounced him dead on arrival, the MTA reported.
