A major crash on the westbound Sunrise Highway near Oakdale-Bohemia Road brought traffic to a complete standstill Saturday evening, causing disruptions on local roadways.

Police say the crash resulted in at least one serious injury.

The crash occurred within 100 feet of a driveway and across from the Suffolk County Water Authority.

There was a heavy police presence in the area as authorities investigated the incident.

The highway closure forced motorists to detour to smaller roads, causing traffic jams and congestion in nearby neighborhoods.

Local residents expressed safety concerns on the busy road: “Yes, it happens all the time – all the overdevelopment, the stores – it’s starting to become like the Belt Parkway,” Tom Coffey said.
