Utica, NY (November 20, 2025) – A three-vehicle collision involving a tractor-trailer caused major traffic delays Thursday afternoon in the southbound lanes of the Arterial near Oswego Street, according to local officials.
The crash happened shortly after 2:30 p.m. on 20th Nov, 2025, when a tractor-trailer reportedly drove through the Oswego Street intersection and struck two passenger vehicles. Utica Police and Fire Department crews responded and redirected traffic for roughly an hour while the roadway was cleared.
Authorities confirmed that no injuries were reported, and investigators have not yet released information regarding citations or contributing factors.
Understanding Multi-Vehicle Crashes in New York
Even when no injuries are initially reported, multi-vehicle collisions involving large commercial trucks carry a higher risk of hidden injuries, delayed symptoms, and extensive property damage. In New York, drivers impacted by tractor-trailer crashes may be entitled to pursue compensation if negligence, such as failure to yield, improper entry into an intersection, or unsafe vehicle operation, is found. Documentation of vehicle damage, witness statements, and police reports becomes critical if insurance disputes arise later.
