Nanuet, NY – In the early hours of May 28, 2024, Rockland County 911 received a crash notification in the vicinity of the Palisades Interstate Parkway Exit 9W/Thruway 13N area.
Despite initial efforts, responding troopers were unable to locate the crash site. It wasn’t until 5:59 a.m. that a male passenger, having crawled up an embankment just north of the Exit 9W ramp, managed to flag down a passing motorist who subsequently called 911.
Preliminary investigations have revealed that the vehicle was traveling northbound on the Palisades Parkway when it veered off the right shoulder by Exit 9W. The car then descended a steep embankment, coming to rest approximately 200 feet into the woods. The vehicle overturned during the crash, causing the driver to be ejected and become partially trapped underneath the vehicle. Firefighters from the Nanuet, Hillcrest, and Excelsior Fire Departments worked to free the driver, who was then airlifted to Hackensack Hospital.
Both individuals involved in the crash are residents of Spring Valley. Authorities have confirmed that drugs and alcohol do not appear to have been factors in the incident. The investigation is ongoing.
