Greenburgh, NY (December 15, 2025) – New York State Police (NYSP) are currently investigating a serious vehicle collision that occurred late Monday evening on the northbound side of the New York State Thruway (I-87) in the town of Greenburgh, Westchester County.
The accident was reported at approximately 8:50 p.m. near Exit 7A. As a result of the serious nature of the crash, the Exit 7A deceleration ramp and the right lane of the Thruway were closed to facilitate the investigation and emergency response. Traffic was diverted into the center and left lanes, causing heavy delays overnight.
The NYSP has not yet released details regarding the number of vehicles involved, whether there were any fatalities, or the exact cause of the collision, but the ongoing presence of State Police indicates the severity of the incident. Further details are expected to be released as the investigation progresses.
Understanding Liability in New York State Thruway Accidents
Accidents occurring on major, high-speed roadways like the New York State Thruway (I-87) often involve excessive speed, aggressive driving, or catastrophic events like multi-car pile-ups, and the resulting injury claims must adhere to New York’s specific laws. The core of any personal injury claim will rest on establishing driver negligence, which in this case could be driving too fast for conditions, distracted driving, or failure to maintain a safe distance. Because the deceleration ramp and a lane were closed, the crash location near an exit suggests potential issues related to merging, sudden braking, or lane changes.
