Interstate Accidents in the Hudson Valley
Crashes on I-87, especially near busy exits like Route 9 in Tarrytown, are unfortunately not uncommon. This stretch of the New York State Thruway sees heavy commuter traffic, long-haul freight, and regional travel converging, creating conditions where even a moment of inattention or a sudden lane change can result in a serious accident.
Exit 9 sits near the entrance to the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, a high-traffic choke point where merging lanes, toll facilities, and variable speed zones increase the likelihood of congestion and collisions. When crashes occur in these environments, emergency response is critical, not only to aid the injured but to manage secondary risks like pileups or rubbernecking-related incidents.
Those involved in Thruway crashes may suffer a range of injuries, from whiplash and sprains to more serious trauma requiring hospitalization. Even minor crashes on high-speed roads often result in extended medical recovery and ongoing insurance negotiations, especially when commercial vehicles are involved.
