A westbound lane of the Long Island Expressway in Syosset that had been closed for about two hours Monday morning reopened around 7 a.m., Nassau police said. 

At least one lane had been closed near Exit 44 around 5 a.m. Monday following an auto accident, authorities said. A police spokesman said details on the crash were not immediately available. 

Shortly after 5 a.m. the New York State 511 site showed the right lane blocked after a crash at Exit 44N-NY135 / Seaford Oyster Bay Expressway, but after 7 a.m. the site showed no incident in the area.
