There was a gas explosion in Meadowmere Park (the area right across from the new Stop and Shop) last night on 1st Street and Meyer Ave. The explosion was reported at 15 West Avenue just before 6 a.m. It was not yet clear how many injuries were reported, but it appeared that some people did need medical attention.
Rockaway turnpike is closed between Brookville boulevard and pin and Sheila Boulevard this morning. We will continue to bring updates as soon as these streets open up.
