Bronx, NY (July 9, 2025) – Multiple people were injured Tuesday afternoon following a multi-vehicle collision on the northbound side of the Major Deegan Expressway (I-87), near the W Fordham Rd exit in the University Heights area. The crash created major traffic disruptions along one of the Bronx’s busiest thoroughfares.
Emergency personnel rushed to the scene shortly after the accident occurred, working quickly to assess the situation and provide immediate care. Several individuals sustained injuries and were transported to local hospitals for further treatment. While specific details about the injuries remain limited, authorities reported that all victims were in stable condition.
Initial reports indicate that several vehicles became entangled in the crash during heavy afternoon traffic. The impact left multiple lanes blocked and vehicles heavily damaged, causing long traffic delays stretching across several exits.
Law enforcement shut down portions of the expressway as they launched an on-site investigation. Although the exact cause of the crash is still under review, officials are investigating possible factors such as speeding, distracted driving, and unsafe lane changes—common risks on high-traffic stretches of I-87.
Our thoughts are with the individuals injured in this incident, and we commend the quick response of Bronx emergency crews who worked diligently to provide care and restore safety to the scene.
New York Car Crashes
From the crowded streets of Grand Concourse to the busy intersections of Hunts Point and the high-speed lanes of the Cross Bronx Expressway, navigating the Bronx’s roadways can be a daily challenge. With increasing traffic congestion and aggressive driving behavior, serious car accidents have become all too common, leaving victims to deal with devastating injuries and overwhelming personal setbacks.
Whether it’s a sideswipe crash on Bruckner Boulevard or a rear-end collision near Yankee Stadium, victims in the Bronx often face much more than just vehicle repairs. The aftermath of a crash can mean a long road to physical and emotional recovery—and serious financial strain.
Many collisions in the Bronx are caused by preventable driver behaviors, including distracted driving, speeding, running stop signs, or impaired driving. In other cases, poor road conditions, faulty signals, and driver inexperience play a role.
