New York, NY (July 9, 2025) – A crash involving injuries occurred late Wednesday morning on the northbound side of Interstate 295 in New York City. The collision was reported at approximately 10:56 a.m. near the interchange with Northern Blvd (NY 25A), resulting in the closure of the right lane and causing moderate traffic delays.
First responders arrived at the scene shortly after the incident was reported to assess the situation and provide emergency medical care to the injured. At least one person was hurt in the crash, though the extent of injuries has not yet been made public.
The blocked right lane added to midmorning congestion as responders worked to assist those involved and clear the affected area. This portion of I-295 is a heavily traveled route linking Queens to the Bronx and Long Island, and even minor incidents can create significant backups.
Authorities have not released specific details regarding the number of vehicles involved or the cause of the crash. An active investigation is underway to determine what factors may have contributed.
We send our sincere wishes for a full recovery to everyone injured in this incident.
I-295 Injury Accidents in NYC
Interstate 295 is a key artery for both local and regional traffic throughout New York City, particularly in Queens where it intersects with routes like Northern Blvd (NY 25A). Given its strategic location and high usage, I-295 is prone to congestion and frequent collisions, especially near entrance and exit ramps where merging and sudden stops are common.
Wednesday’s crash highlights the dangers posed by dense urban highway traffic. Accidents on I-295 can quickly lead to lane closures and long delays—complicating not just commutes but also emergency response efforts.
