"There was a multi-vehicle accident this morning," said s spokesperson for New York State Department of Transportation. "The state police are handling the investigation."
The road was closed for about a half hour starting around 9 a.m., she said.
Two of the cars from the pileup off the Wantagh Parkway Northbound are seen.
"We're just trying to deal with the traffic right now to deal with the storm," Trooper Anthony Preston said.
