Elmsford, NY (May 22, 2025) – A crash resulting in injuries was reported late Wednesday morning on the eastbound side of the I-287 Cross Westchester Expressway, just before Exit 4 at Knollwood Road (Route 100A) in Elmsford, according to 511NJ traffic alerts.
The collision occurred around 11:57 a.m., causing emergency responders to arrive on scene to assist the injured and manage the crash site. While the exact number of vehicles involved and the condition of those injured have not yet been released, injuries were confirmed, and traffic in the area experienced delays as crews worked to clear the eastbound lanes.
I-287 is a major regional artery, and this section near Elmsford is particularly busy during midday hours due to its proximity to business centers, commuter hubs, and retail areas. The nature of the crash and its location—just prior to a heavily trafficked exit—suggests the possibility of rear-end or merging collisions, which are common at high-speed exits and transitions.
The scene remains under investigation by local authorities. Drivers are advised to use caution and consider alternate routes if traveling through the area during ongoing cleanup efforts.
We extend our thoughts to those injured and hope for their full and swift recovery.
Crash Risks Along the I-287 Corridor
Crashes along I-287, especially near congested exits like Knollwood Rd, are often the result of sudden braking, lane changes, or speed differentials between merging and through traffic. These conditions make it one of the more dangerous sections of highway in Westchester County.
When injuries are involved, victims may require immediate medical attention and could face longer-term consequences such as physical therapy, lost wages, and insurance disputes. Even crashes that may initially appear moderate can have significant impacts, particularly when spinal, head, or internal injuries are involved.
For those injured, getting immediate medical care and documenting the incident thoroughly is essential to ensuring a smooth and supported recovery. Legal advice may also be necessary when navigating complex multi-vehicle collisions or dealing with aggressive insurance tactics.
