North Castle, NY (August 6, 2025) – A crash involving injuries caused major traffic disruptions Wednesday morning on the southbound side of Interstate 684 in Westchester County. The collision occurred just south of Exit 3 (NY-22, Bedford/Armonk), near mile marker 6.0, shortly before 9:12 a.m.
According to New Jersey 511, the crash resulted in injuries and blocked both the left and center lanes of I-684 southbound. Emergency medical services were dispatched to the scene to assist those hurt in the incident. Authorities have not released the number of individuals involved or the severity of the injuries, but the collision was classified as injury-related.
The lane closures caused significant delays through North Castle as responders worked to treat victims and investigate the crash. Tow crews were also seen clearing the involved vehicles from the roadway. Traffic congestion persisted through the mid-morning commute, and drivers were advised to seek alternate routes until full clearance was achieved.
State police continue to investigate the cause of the crash, with early considerations including driver error, speed, or sudden lane changes as possible contributing factors.
Our thoughts are with those injured, and we hope for their swift and full recovery.
Injury Crashes on Westchester Highways
Incidents like Wednesday’s crash on I-684 highlight the ongoing dangers present on New York’s high-speed commuter corridors. I-684, which serves as a key route for drivers traveling between Westchester County, Connecticut, and downstate New York, sees consistent weekday traffic—especially during the morning rush.
Highway crashes are frequently caused by rapid lane changes, following too closely, or failure to adjust speed to traffic flow. When collisions happen on multi-lane interstates like I-684, injury risks increase—particularly when vehicles are traveling at high speeds and visibility is limited by traffic volume or road curvature.
Emergency response to highway crashes can be complicated by blocked lanes and limited shoulder space, often increasing the time needed to access and stabilize injured individuals. This can also lead to chain-reaction collisions if approaching drivers are unable to slow down in time.
For those involved in such crashes, the aftermath may include not only physical recovery but also insurance complications, work absences, and stress-related challenges. Victims are encouraged to seek medical attention even if injuries appear minor, as symptoms such as back strain, whiplash, or internal trauma can emerge hours or days later.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a highway crash, it’s important to act quickly and connect with resources that support your recovery.
