MANHATTAN — A crash on the Henry Hudson Parkway caused major traffic delays Monday after a car veered off the roadway and slammed into a light pole in the center median.

Chopper 2 footage showed the damaged vehicle surrounded by emergency crews as traffic backed up for miles. Officials have not yet confirmed the cause of the crash or whether anyone was injured.

The accident brought northbound and southbound traffic to a crawl during the evening rush, frustrating commuters across Manhattan’s West Side. Police urged drivers to seek alternate routes while crews worked to clear the scene.

The Henry Hudson Parkway is a key route for daily traffic, and even minor incidents can cause major disruptions. Authorities continue to investigate what led to the crash.
