Syracuse, NY (September 20, 2025) – A woman sustained injuries in a two-vehicle crash that took place Friday afternoon near the Brooklyn Pickle location on Burnet Avenue, just before the I-690 overpass in Syracuse.
The incident occurred on September 19 in the early afternoon hours, between South Edwards Avenue and South Midler Avenue. According to scanner reports from Syracuse Fire and EMS, the crash involved two vehicles and resulted in at least one person reporting a back injury. Emergency crews responded to the scene quickly and assessed the female victim’s condition while coordinating additional support as a precaution.
Initial reports indicate that EMS was requested out of concern for the woman’s back pain, and crews were seen providing assistance near the busy corridor. No details have been shared regarding the other party involved, and it is unclear whether additional occupants were injured in the collision.
The crash took place just before the bridge under I-690—a location known for its limited visibility and high-volume traffic during the lunch and early afternoon hours. Responders remained at the scene to ensure safe clearance of the roadway and to manage the flow of vehicles in the affected area.
Authorities have not confirmed the specific cause of the accident, and no citations have been reported at this time. An investigation into the circumstances remains active.
We send our best wishes to the injured individual and hope for a speedy and full recovery.
