Residual Delays on NYS Thruway After Car Pinned Under Tanker

A tanker crash closed multiple lanes on the New York State Thruway south of the Yonkers tolls early Wednesday morning, causing residual delays for the morning commute.

Chopper 4 footage showed a milk tanker on top of a car at the middle divider just south of the tolls and just before exit 6A.

One person had to be extricated after being trapped inside of the car that got pinned beneath the tanker, but no serious injuries were reported.

Traffic was backed up for about a mile on the thruway’s southbound lanes, but by 6:30 a.m. the tanker was removed from the road and the scene was beginning to clear.
