ROAD SERVICE UPDATE — CLOSEOUT

The Spring Valley I-87 South crash notice has cleared from 511NY. Use the live list for a new trip.

The 9:36 a.m. crash record before Exit 14 at Route 59 was no longer in the complete 10:54 a.m. incident list. Its disappearance does not establish the exact clearing time, final outcome or current traffic speed.

Original closeout card by The Rockland Edit, based on the complete 10:54 a.m. 511NY incident list. Record removal is not a verified reopening time or documentary evidence.

What the public record says now

  • Earlier record: I-87 southbound before Exit 14 at Route 59 in Spring Valley, beginning at 9:36 a.m.
  • Record ID: CARS CAD-262860123.
  • 10:54 a.m. check: the record was absent from the complete 29-item incident list.
  • Not established: an exact clearing time, reopening time, cause, traffic speed or final outcome.
  • Best next step: use the live 511NY list before a new trip because conditions can change after this closeout.

How to use this closeout

The earlier Spring Valley notice is no longer current travel guidance. If your trip uses southbound I-87, open the live 511NY incident list ↗ before leaving. Removal of a record does not prove that residual congestion has ended.

What is not confirmed

511NY did not publish an exact clearing or reopening time, cause, severity, injury information, vehicle details or final traffic condition. The Rockland Edit did not independently observe the crash or its resolution.

This is a new October 13 record

The October 12 Spring Valley service page documented different crash records with different start times and CAD numbers. This October 13 record began at 9:36 a.m. and carries CAD number 262860123, so it has its own permanent URL rather than overwriting yesterday's archive.

What changes for a resident: the 9:36 a.m. Spring Valley crash notice is no longer current travel guidance. Use live 511NY information before a new trip because record removal does not guarantee that residual congestion has ended.

Primary source: the 511NY incident list ↗, checked October 13, 2026, at 9:54 and 10:54 a.m. EDT. The complete 27-item list at 9:54 included the Spring Valley record for I-87 southbound before Exit 14 at Route 59, beginning at 9:36 a.m., with CAD number 262860123 and no blocked lane or detour posted. The complete 29-item list at 10:54 no longer carried that record. The separate South Nyack record with CAD number 262860048 remained listed. The Rockland Edit does not infer an exact clearing time, reopening time, final traffic condition, cause or injury outcome from a record's disappearance.
