A Massapequa Park woman rode the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) home Thursday night and became the latest commuter to fall through the platform gap.

Lisa Ehrlich, standing 5 feet tall, fell at Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan while boarding an eastbound train. Without any alcohol in her system, Ehrlich claims she was not pushed off the crowded platform. The latest victim of wide gaps between LIRR trains and station platforms, Ehrlich says she was frightened at the time and is now very angry the commuter rail hasn't acted sooner to correct the problem. She filed an accident report with LIRR officials on the ride home and sustained hip and leg injuries.

Before a Minnesota teen died at the Woodside station in August 2006, the LIRR hadn't acted on 30-year-old knowledge the gaps were potentially dangerous. LIRR announced recently it would spend more than $13 million to close gaps at nearly two dozen stations.
