The first was south of the West Street overpass near Exit 18. Circumstances were not immediately available, but a black SUV ended up turned around in the wrong direction and several trucks were stopped, blocking all lanes of traffic. People were walking around, a woman with her hands to the sides of her head looking at the SUV appeared amazed rather than injured. Police said two people experiencing back and neck pain were taken to Sound Shore Medical Center.
The second accident was some minutes later just north of the overpass where traffic had been brought to a stop by the first accident. A tractor-trailer veered off the road and into trees alongside the highway. Its trailer flipped onto its side, closing two lanes. Traffic was detoured to the ramp to Exits 18A and 18B. It was brought to a standstill again around 12:40 p.m. while the tractor-trailer was righted. Traffic piled up past the Interstate 287-Interstate 95 interchange and backed up onto 287.
The first accident was cleared around 12:35 p.m. and the tractor-trailer by 2 p.m., but residual delays remained.
