JULY 4, 2015
YONKERS, NY
A serious crash closed the southbound Thruway in the area of
Central Park Avenue for about two hours on Friday.
State police said all lanes had reopened by 7:30 p.m., more
than two hours after all southbound lanes were closed because of a crash
involving a tractor-trailer and passenger vehicle, which ended up on its roof
under the truck. The accident occurred around 4:40 p.m.
Police said four people were taken to Jacobi Medical Center
in the Bronx for minor injuries.
A state highway advisory says the stretch of road affected
is between Exits 3 and 2, Mile Square Road and Yonkers Avenue. Central Park
Avenue was also closed, with traffic being diverted at Mile Square Road.
"Motorists should plan for extended delays," the
state said. "Motorists may wish to seek alternate routes."
Delays extend as far back as exit 6. Northbound traffic is
also affected.
