Several Injured in Pileup Near TZ Bridge

At least eight injuries in Saturday morning accident, according to police.

An eight-car pileup just before the Tappan Zee Bridge early Saturday morning left several drivers injured, according to New York State Police.

A tractor trailer plowed into seven other vehicles near the span's toll plaza in Westchester at approximately 1:30 a.m., said Kevin Flynn, a Sgt. with State Police.

Traffic had slowed down due to bridge maintenance, and the truck driver lost control after hitting the brakes, Flynn added.
