How these records are counted

Nassau and Suffolk 511NY records whose 511 title begins Crash, Vehicle fire or Overturned vehicle, with a 511 "Reported" time in the 24 hours before this export. Road-condition reports are excluded. These are 511 records in 511's own wording, not verified crash counts: one collision can produce more than one record. "Still listed" means the record was in the 511 feed the last time Long Island Traffic read it; "no longer listed" means it had dropped out of the feed by then, which usually but not always means the scene was cleared. Listed time runs from 511's Reported time to the last read that still showed the record, so it is rounded to our read interval.

Frequently Asked Questions

How current are these Long Island accident reports?

The live 511NY data on this site is refreshed through the day. Full reports are published only after the facts can be supported by a primary record (511NY, NYS Police, Nassau or Suffolk police, courts, NWS) or by independent reporting, so a report can appear hours after an incident. Each report shows its own publication and update times.

Where do the accident reports come from?

Primary records first: 511NY (the NY State DOT traffic feed), NYS Police Troop L (state highways and parkways), the Nassau County and Suffolk County police departments, courts and the National Weather Service. When a report also relies on a news outlet, that outlet is named on the report itself.

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.
