A quick-thinking NYPD cop and her Long Island firefighter husband were hailed as heroes yesterday after they pulled a woman out of her stalled car just seconds before it was rammed by a speeding LIRR train, officials said.
Randi Locicero, 34, a 10-year NYPD veteran who works at Rodmans Neck in The Bronx, and her husband, Anthony, 33, where both off-duty and driving along Roslyn Road in Mineola when they approached an LIRR crossing and saw a Buick LeSabre stuck on the tracks.
The 63-year-old driver, who was not identified, was slow to get out of the stalled car just as a westbound Long Island Rail Road train was approaching, officials said. The woman had apparently made a wrong turn onto the tracks, mistaking it for a street, officials said.
Locicero and her husband swooped in, pulling the woman to safety just seconds before the train barreled into the vehicle.
