On December 24, 2024, at 6:10 AM, two significant traffic incidents occurred on the New York State Thruway (I-90), impacting the westbound lanes. The first crash took place before Exit 36, near Syracuse, where I-90 intersects with I-81. This area is a crucial junction for travelers heading towards the northern parts of New York or continuing westward. The proximity to Syracuse, a major city known for its educational institutions and vibrant cultural scene, makes this section of the Thruway particularly busy, especially during the holiday season.

Simultaneously, another crash was reported after Exit 24, near Albany, where I-90 meets the I-87 Northway. This location is a vital corridor for traffic moving between the state capital and other major cities, such as New York City and Boston. Albany, with its rich history and governmental significance, often sees heavy commuter traffic, which can be exacerbated by adverse weather conditions typical of late December.

Both incidents occurred at the same time, suggesting possible weather-related factors or increased holiday travel congestion. The NYS Thruway is a critical artery for commerce and travel across New York State, and disruptions here can have widespread effects. Motorists traveling on this route should be aware of potential delays and consider alternative routes to avoid the affected areas. Keeping informed about real-time traffic updates is essential for ensuring a safe and efficient journey during this busy travel period.
