Earlier Reports

Frequently Asked Questions

How current are these Long Island accident reports?

New accident reports are added every 2-4 hours by an automated pipeline that ingests 511NY (NY State DOT real-time feed, 15-minute refresh), NYS Police Troop L daily PDF blotters, NCPD and SCPD press releases, and News 12 / Patch / Newsday / Google News RSS. Most incidents appear on the site within minutes of the upstream source publishing them.

Where do the accident reports come from?

Public records and verified news. Specifically: 511NY (the official NY State DOT traffic management feed), NYS Police Troop L (covers state highways including the LIE, Southern State Parkway, Northern State Parkway, and all parkways), Nassau County Police Department, Suffolk County Police Department, plus News 12 Long Island, Patch, Newsday, and Daily Voice. Every article cites its primary source.

Why does an article keep updating after the original incident?

Long Island Traffic operates a continuous-update system: when official sources release follow-up information (victim identified, road reopened, charges filed, trial scheduled, sentencing) the original article is amended with a timestamped Updates timeline rather than buried in a new post. A single article can accumulate the full prosecutorial timeline — arrest → charges → trial → verdict → sentencing → civil suits — across 6 to 24 months.

What should I do if I was in an accident featured here?

Your first priority is safety: move to a safe location if possible, call 911, and seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor. See our guides at /know-your-rights/car-accidents/ and /know-your-rights/insurance-claims/ for what to do next. If your information is incorrect, email corrections@longislandtraffic.com — we publish corrections inline with the article.

How can I see accidents on a specific road or in a specific town?

Each major road has a dedicated profile at /roads/<road-name>/ with that road's recent incidents (e.g., /roads/lie/ for Long Island Expressway). Each town has a profile at /towns/<county>/<town>/ with that town's incidents. The interactive Crime Map at /crime-blotter/map/ also visualizes incidents geographically across both counties.

How does this site rank "most dangerous roads"?

Our monthly editorial report at /editorial/most-dangerous-roads-long-island-2026/ uses a composite score: crashes × 1.0 + fatalities × 5.0 + DWI arrests × 2.0 + injuries × 0.5 over a 90-day window. The score weights fatalities heavily because a single fatal incident reflects much higher severity than 10 property-damage crashes. The report is re-computed every 2-4 hours.
