Bus Overturns on New York State Thruway Near Plattekill

Lane closures from the rollover are slowing traffic during an ongoing State Police investigation.

Overview

  • A passenger bus carrying about 23 people overturned on I‑87 southbound near Plattekill between Exit 18 and Exit 17.
  • State Police said there were no life‑threatening injuries, that 17 passengers were unhurt, and that injured people were treated at the scene or taken to hospital.
  • Multiple emergency agencies and State Police remain on scene and investigators are probing the cause while officials say they will release more details later.
  • Left lanes on both the southbound and northbound Thruway remain closed, producing slow traffic and delays through the area.
  • Because I‑87 is a major north–south corridor, the closures could extend regional travel delays and officials’ upcoming updates will determine when lanes fully reopen and whether further action is needed.
