Truck stuck under subway underpass causes major delays in Kingsbridge
The eight-wheeler forced delays nearing three hours, according to residents. The stuck truck blocked buses from continuing on their normal route.
A delivery truck blocked traffic between W 231st Street and Broadway Avenue after it slammed onto the subway underpass of the 1 train in Kingsbridge on Saturday afternoon.
The eight-wheeler forced delays nearing three hours, according to residents. The stuck truck blocked buses from continuing on their normal route.
"I don't know how I'm going to reach Riverdale right now, because the main entrance is blocked off," said one neighbor named Natalie.
Bus drivers, police officers, and neighbors directed traffic to ease the stress of community members.
The delivery truck driver, named Keith, remained at the scene. He told News 12, "it's really stressful" driving in New York City.
"I was stopped and then my guy that was following me behind me told me 'you have to stop.' So now we're just here trying to find a solution and just take this out," he said.
Neighbors said this was not the first time an incident like this happened and causes distress in their community.
There were no reported injuries.
