ROAD SERVICE UPDATE — CLOSEOUT

Both northbound I-87 crash notices have cleared from 511NY. Use the live list for a new trip.

The Exit 12 West Nyack record was gone by 5 p.m. The separate Exit 13 Palisades record, which had listed the right lane blocked, was no longer in the complete 5:56 p.m. incident list.

The Rockland Edit closeout card stating that both northbound I-87 crash notices at West Nyack and the Palisades interchange were no longer in the 5:56 p.m. 511NY list
Original information card by The Rockland Edit, based on the complete 5:56 p.m. 511NY list. It is not an official map, traffic-camera image or documentary photograph.

What the timeline shows

  • Exit 12 at West Nyack: the crash record began at 4:14 p.m., appeared at 4:49 p.m. and was absent from the complete 5 p.m. list.
  • Exit 13 at the Palisades interchange: the crash record began at 4:09 p.m., listed the right lane blocked at 5 p.m. and was absent from the complete 5:56 p.m. list.
  • Not confirmed: either incident's exact clearing time, cause, injuries, vehicle details or final outcome.
  • Separate record outside Rockland: the 5:56 p.m. list carried a new southbound I-87 crash near Exit 3 in Yonkers; it is not evidence of a current Rockland incident.

What to do

Use the live 511NY incident list ↗ for a new trip. A record disappearing from the list does not establish the exact reopening time or describe residual traffic conditions.

What remains unconfirmed

511NY did not publish the people or vehicles involved, a cause, injuries or final outcomes for either Rockland record. The Rockland Edit did not independently observe the crashes or the clearing process.

What changes for a resident: the two Rockland crash notices are no longer current travel guidance; check live conditions before a new I-87 trip.

Primary source: the 511NY incident list ↗, checked October 12, 2026, at 5:56 p.m. EDT. The complete 24-item list did not carry either northbound Rockland record. It carried a separate southbound I-87 crash near Exit 3 in Yonkers, beginning at 5:49 p.m., with a right lane blocked on the ramp. The absence of the Rockland records does not supply their exact clearing times or final outcomes.
