Hofstra University walkway closed after crash

The pedestrian walkway that links the north and south sides of the Hofstra University campus over Hempstead Turnpike is closed indefinitely after it was struck by a truck Thursday.

Nassau County police say a truck, used to haul dumpsters struck the bottom of the walkway shortly after 2 p.m. The driver of the truck was taken to a hospital for injuries sustained in the crash but nobody on the campus was hurt.

The walkway will be closed until repairs can be made and an inspection can be completed by the Town of Hempstead.
