The crash looked scary.

But Nassau County police said no one was injured in a morning rush-hour accident that left one car perched on the hood of another, snarling traffic on the westbound Long Island Expressway for about 40 minutes Thursday.

The three-vehicle accident, which closed all lanes at Exit 41 in Jericho, occurred at about 6:30 a.m., the state Department of Transportation reported. The DOT said the road was reopened at about 7:10 a.m.

The cause of the crash was not immediately known.

It backed up traffic for miles before the road reopened.
