Yonkers, NY (August 21, 2025) – A Thursday morning crash on the northbound lanes of I-87 – the New York State Thruway – left at least one person injured and caused lane disruptions in Yonkers. The incident occurred around 10:12 a.m. near mile marker 2.18, with the left lane temporarily blocked as emergency crews responded.
Authorities quickly arrived at the scene to assist the injured and manage the flow of traffic. Paramedics evaluated the involved individuals, and at least one victim required transportation to a nearby hospital for further treatment. The severity of injuries has not been made public at this time.
Vehicles involved sustained moderate damage, and traffic along the northbound stretch of the Thruway slowed considerably as a result of the blocked lane. Emergency personnel worked efficiently to treat victims, remove debris, and restore safe travel conditions.
The exact cause of the crash remains under investigation by New York State Police. Officials have not yet released information about how many vehicles were involved or whether weather, speed, or distraction played a role.
We send our best wishes to the injured for a full and timely recovery.
Interstate Accidents in Yonkers
Crashes on I-87 through Yonkers—especially during active morning travel hours—create major safety and logistical concerns. As part of the New York State Thruway system, this corridor supports a high volume of regional and commercial traffic. Even a single-lane closure, like the one seen near mile marker 2.18, can ripple into long delays and increase the risk of secondary incidents.
Thursday’s crash highlights the dangers that persist even during routine commutes. Factors such as driver inattention, merging congestion, or unexpected slowdowns frequently contribute to accidents in this area. Injuries on interstate highways also tend to be more serious due to high-speed impacts and the possibility of multi-vehicle involvement.
