Syracuse, NY (September 23, 2025) – A traffic collision with injuries was reported Monday near the Eastside of Syracuse on I-690 eastbound at the Teall Avenue exit. Emergency responders, including Syracuse Fire and EMS, were dispatched to the scene following reports of injured occupants and vehicles obstructing traffic during the afternoon commute.
Upon arrival, paramedics treated at least one individual at the scene for injuries. The full extent of the injuries has not yet been confirmed, but medical crews classified the response as injury-related and remained on site to assess those involved. Multiple lanes were briefly slowed as first responders worked to manage the scene and ensure safe passage for other drivers.
The crash occurred at a known congestion point along I-690, just east of downtown Syracuse and near one of the corridor’s busiest interchanges. The proximity to Teall Ave—a key connector into city neighborhoods—often leads to heavy merging traffic and sudden stops, increasing the likelihood of rear-end and side-impact collisions.
As of this report, officials have not released information about the number of vehicles involved or whether any citations have been issued. The Syracuse Police Department is conducting an investigation to determine contributing factors, which may include speed variation, lane changes, or driver distraction.
We extend our sincere wishes for recovery to all individuals injured in this crash.
