A crash was reported on the westbound I-495 service road between Exit 55 (Motor Parkway, CR 67, Islip) and Exit 53 (Sagtikos State Parkway, Wicks Road, CR 7, Islip), resulting in the closure of one right lane out of three lanes, according to a 511NY traffic report.
The available source does not establish when the crash occurred, how many vehicles were involved, whether anyone was injured, or what caused the collision. The old article’s description of two left lanes closed is not supported by the source, which reports one right lane closed.
