LONG ISLAND (WABC) -- A crash on the Long Island Expressway between a truck and a tractor trailer was causing major traffic.

The accident happened before rush hour Wednesday on the westbound side of the Long Island Expressway just past the Cross Island Parkway.

News Copter 7 was overhead the crash, where it appeared that the tractor trailer rear-ended a pickup truck that had an office trailer attached to it.

All westbound lanes were blocked except for the right lane, causing bumper to bumper delays back into Nassau County.
