LIE shut for hours after home falls off trailer

The eastbound lanes of the Long Island Expressway were closed for more than four hours overnight Wednesday at Exit 34 in North Hills as Nassau County police investigated a motor-vehicle accident.

The roadway reopened shortly after 1 a.m. Thursday. Police said a mobile home being transported on the LIE fell off its trailer and onto the roadway.

A police spokesman said early Thursday there did not appear to be any injuries and the accident remains under investigation.
