What Happened
A crash on northbound NY 135 in Nassau County closed the left lane Monday, September 14, 2026. The incident was classified as minor. No exact time of the collision, vehicle types, or cause has been confirmed in official reporting.
One left lane remained closed following the crash. The extent of any injuries, and whether emergency responders were still on scene, had not been disclosed as of the latest available information.
No arrests or charges have been reported in connection with the collision.
Location & Road Context
NY 135, the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway, runs north-south through central Nassau County and carries heavy commuter traffic between the Southern State Parkway and the Long Island Expressway. The northbound lanes feed directly toward the LIE interchange, making left-lane closures particularly disruptive during morning and midday travel windows.
According to Long Island Traffic’s incident registry, this crash is the seventh recorded on the NY 135 corridor in the past 30 days and the 15th in 2026. The most recent prior fatal crash on this corridor occurred July 2, 2026. Nassau County has logged 1,292 recorded accidents in Long Island Traffic’s local incident database.
Broader Impact
Monday also brought a moderate crash on the Southern State Parkway and a vehicle fire on I-495 the day prior — two corridors that intersect or parallel NY 135’s commuter load. Drivers diverting off NY 135 may encounter residual congestion on those alternate routes.
This is a developing report based on initial incident data. Additional details — including time of crash, responding agency, and lane-clearance time — will be added as official information becomes available.
