What Happened
A disabled vehicle is blocking the left lane of NY 135 northbound in Nassau County as of Saturday, June 20, 2026, according to an official incident record logged in the 511NY traffic system. The severity of the event is classified as minor, and the lane impact is limited to a single left-lane closure in the northbound direction.
Specific details about the incident remain limited at this time. The exact milepost, cross-street, or exit number where the vehicle came to a stop has not been confirmed in official reports. Similarly, the make, model, or year of the disabled vehicle has not been released, nor has the identity or condition of any occupant. Police have not yet confirmed whether the vehicle broke down due to a mechanical failure, ran out of fuel, or was involved in a prior collision that rendered it immobile on the roadway.
It is not yet known which agency initially responded to the scene — Nassau County Police Department, the New York State Police, or a local road crew — though for a minor lane-blocking incident of this nature on a limited-access expressway, a response from state or county authorities is standard procedure. Details remain limited pending any further official release.
The timing of the lane closure and the estimated duration of the impact on traffic have not been publicly stated. Motorists traveling northbound on NY 135 on Saturday should anticipate at least some degree of congestion in the vicinity of the disabled vehicle, particularly during any active clearance operation.
