At 10:12 AM, a crash was reported on the I-190 Niagara Thruway southbound, just before Exit N16, near the Youngmann Highway (I-290). This incident resulted in the blockage of the right lane, affecting traffic flow in the area. The I-190 is a crucial route for commuters and travelers heading towards Niagara Falls and Buffalo, making this incident particularly disruptive.
Simultaneously, at 10:11 AM, another crash occurred on the I-90 NYS Thruway eastbound, just before Exit 31 near Utica, intersecting with Route 8 and Route 12.

Additionally, at the same time, a crash was reported on the I-90 NYS Thruway westbound, just after Exit 24 in Albany, where the I-87 Northway and I-90 East converge. This area is a major junction for traffic heading towards the Capital Region and beyond, and the incident would have impacted both local and through traffic.
