Pelham Bay, NY – Multi-Vehicle Crash, 2 Injured at Bruckner Expy S and New England Thruway S
Pelham Bay, NY (August 30, 2024) – A serious multi-vehicle accident occurred late Friday afternoon in Pelham Bay, Bronx, involving a semi-truck and two other vehicles, resulting in two reported injuries. The collision took place at the intersection of Bruckner Expressway South and New England Thruway South, prompting a swift response from emergency services.
At approximately 5:13 p.m., the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) and police units arrived at the scene after receiving reports of a severe crash. According to initial reports, one of the involved vehicles, a Jeep, may have had a male occupant trapped inside, which necessitated immediate rescue efforts. Additionally, a fuel spill from the tractor-trailer complicated the situation, raising concerns about potential hazards on the roadway. Three lanes of the Bruckner Expressway were closed as emergency responders worked to extricate the trapped individual and manage the fuel spill. Traffic control was required as the crash caused significant delays, with vehicles being rerouted away from the area. The condition of the injured parties remains unclear, but they were promptly transported to a nearby hospital for further evaluation and treatment.
We hope the injured victims recover quickly.
Bronx Expressway Accidents
These expressways are notorious for their bottlenecks, sharp curves, and sudden lane merges, all of which can catch drivers off guard and lead to multi-vehicle accidents. Such accidents highlight the dangers of heavy traffic and complex roadways like those in Pelham Bay. The combination of large commercial vehicles and congested traffic conditions increases the likelihood of severe accidents, often resulting in substantial injuries and property damage. The Bronx, with its dense network of expressways, including the Cross Bronx Expressway, Major Deegan Expressway, and Bruckner Expressway, experiences high volumes of traffic daily.
During peak hours, the heavy flow of vehicles further exacerbates the danger, making even minor errors potentially catastrophic.
