NY 135, the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway, runs north-south through Nassau County, connecting the Northern State Parkway near Plainview to the Sunrise Highway and Southern State Parkway near Seaford. The corridor carries heavy commuter volume in both directions during morning and evening peak periods, and lane closures on the southbound side routinely push backups north toward the expressway’s central interchanges.

The most recent prior fatal crash on the corridor occurred on July 2, 2026. A separate moderate crash on NY 135 was also recorded earlier on August 26. Additional incidents the same day include a moderate crash on the Northern State Parkway and a moderate crash on the Southern State Parkway, making for a busy Wednesday across Nassau County’s major corridors.
