Official: 122 crashes reported in Suffolk since storm started

Suffolk police reported 122 accidents since the beginning of the storm, with EMS responding to 41 people injured, Suffolk County spokesperson Michael Martino told Newsday early Monday.

Earlier Monday, Nassau County police said 73 crashes had been reported since 9 a.m. Sunday.

Long Island officials were urging residents to stay off the roads, with travel bans in effect.

“Heavy snow is still falling. Stay off the roads and don't put firefighters and emergency workers in a dangerous situation having to come rescue you,” the Nassau fire marshal said in a posting Monday morning. “Only essential workers are permitted on roads in Nassau. We've still got a few more hours of snowfall and heavy winds.”
