On Saturday, September 28, 2025, a serious crash with injuries shut down multiple lanes on the Cross County Parkway eastbound near Exit 5 (Kimball Avenue and Midland Avenue) in Yonkers, NY. The collision, which occurred around 4:00 p.m., caused significant traffic delays as emergency crews rushed to aid injured drivers and passengers.
While full details are still emerging, police are investigating whether factors like speed, distracted driving, or unsafe merging contributed to the accident. Anyone familiar with the Cross County Parkway knows this stretch of road is particularly hazardous — with narrow shoulders, heavy commuter traffic, and constant lane changes creating dangerous conditions.
Unfortunately, crashes like this are far too common across Westchester County, from Yonkers and White Plains to Mount Vernon and New Rochelle. With traffic flowing daily between Westchester and the Bronx, Queens, and Manhattan, accidents on roads such as the Cross County Parkway, Hutchinson River Parkway, and Bronx River Parkway are a frequent reality.
Why Accidents on the Cross County Parkway Are So Dangerous
The Cross County Parkway is a key artery connecting I-87, the Hutchinson River Parkway, and the Bronx River Parkway. That means drivers often merge at high speeds in dense traffic, leaving little room for error. When a crash occurs, emergency responders struggle with limited shoulder space and blocked lanes, making it harder to get aid to victims quickly.
Even when injuries appear “minor,” victims often face lingering problems such as whiplash, spinal injuries, or chronic back pain. In other cases, the consequences are devastating, requiring surgery, long-term medical care, and lost wages.
That’s why early medical evaluation and timely legal representation are so critical after a crash. Insurance companies act quickly to limit their payouts — but you should have someone fighting just as hard for your rights.
How a Car Accident Lawyer Can Help After a Crash in Yonkers or Westchester
After a serious car accident, victims often face overwhelming questions:
- Who will pay for my medical bills?
- How do I recover lost income if I can’t work?

- Should I accept a settlement, or fight for more?

What To Do If You’ve Been Injured in a Yonkers Car Accident
If you or a loved one were injured in a collision on the Cross County Parkway, Bronx River Parkway, or any roadway in Westchester County or New York City, here are immediate steps to protect your rights:
- Seek medical attention immediately. Even if symptoms seem minor, conditions like whiplash or spinal injuries may worsen over time.
