Yonkers, NY (April 14, 2025) – A crash involving injuries caused delays late Sunday morning on the northbound side of the New York State Thruway (I-87) in Yonkers. The incident occurred just before Exit 2 (Yonkers Avenue), with the center lane blocked as of 11:21 AM, according to traffic officials.
Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene and worked quickly to assist injured individuals and manage the flow of traffic in the busy corridor. At least one person was hurt in the collision, though full details about the number of vehicles involved and the severity of the injuries have not been released at this time. Injured parties were likely treated at the scene and transported to local medical facilities as needed.
Traffic through the area remained backed up while responders addressed the crash and coordinated cleanup and towing operations. The blocked center lane caused significant slowdowns in the northbound lanes as crews worked to restore full traffic flow.
Officials are currently investigating the cause of the crash. Factors such as speed, merging behavior, and driver distraction are common contributors on this stretch of the Thruway, particularly near interchanges like Exit 2.
We send our best wishes to those injured and hope for their full and speedy recovery.
