Parkway Collisions in Westchester County
Crashes along the Saw Mill River Parkway are a recurring issue, especially during high-volume travel periods. The narrow design and lack of shoulder space make collisions more dangerous and harder to manage. Areas near exits like Railroad Ave in Bedford can be particularly prone to accidents due to sudden lane changes, merging, and reduced visibility around curves.
Injury accidents on the Parkway require a coordinated response from fire, EMS, and traffic units to ensure safety and minimize impact on the flow of vehicles. Victims are encouraged to document the scene, obtain a police report, and seek medical care, even for seemingly minor injuries that could worsen over time.
Legal support can be helpful when navigating post-accident challenges, including insurance disputes or determining liability. This is especially true when crashes occur in complex traffic environments like parkways, where fault may involve more than one contributing factor.
Efforts are ongoing to improve safety on Westchester’s parkways, but drivers must remain vigilant, especially near exits and during peak travel hours.
