I-87 Albany Crash: Traffic Stops as Emergency Teams Respond to Injury

One person was injured after a crash on I-87 in Albany. The accident happened on a busy stretch of the highway, causing traffic delays for several hours. Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, providing medical assistance to the injured person and clearing the area for safety.

The crash occurred early in the morning when one vehicle lost control and hit the guardrail. The exact cause of the accident is still under investigation, but it appears that slippery road conditions may have played a role. The driver, whose identity has not been released, was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The accident led to significant traffic buildup as one lane was closed for emergency response and cleanup. Drivers were urged to find alternate routes to avoid delays.

The New York State Police are continuing their investigation into the cause of the crash and have asked anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward.
