Single Car Accident Closes Peninsula Boulevard

Car hits guardrail near shopping center.

One side of Peninsula Boulevard in Hewlett, between Gordon Road and Gibson Boulevard, was closed Wednesday afternoon after a one car accident in the southbound lanes.

An SUV struck a guardrail, then two utility poles and a fire hydrant, before burying itself into a nearby front lawn.

Several homes in the area are without power, but LIPA crews are on scene attempting to repair the damage.
