Officials say northbound and southbound lanes were shut down and significant delays were expected.
One person died and another was seriously injured after a small plane crashed near Interstate 684 on Thursday, leading to closures at Exit 2 northbound and Exit 3 southbound in Westchester County, according to state officials.
The crash occurred in the town of Harrison, prompting local detours in the area, officials said. Gov. Kathy Hochul said she was briefed on the crash. “The highway has been closed in both directions as the investigation continues," Hochul said in a statement. "The crash also caused an aviation gas spill, which DEC is working rapidly to contain and clean up. My heart goes out to the loved ones of those on board during this tragic incident, and I am praying for a safe recovery for the injured individual.”
Authorities warned the closure was expected to last for an extended period and urged drivers to avoid the area.Mayor Adams says he'll use executive order to change sanctuary after border czar meeting After meeting with Trump pick Tom Homan, Adams said he would expand the list of crimes that let NYC officials work with federal agents to deport undocumented New Yorkers.Because casting a TikTok influencer helped out one show, here are your afternoon links: NYC to London in 54 minutes, Red Bulls Arena new name, 'Hot Ones' new home and more from around the city and internet.
