On February 6, 2025, at 8:57 AM, two significant traffic incidents occurred on the New York State Thruway (I-90) eastbound, impacting the flow of vehicles in the Rochester area. The first incident was an injury crash located just before Exit 45, which connects I-90 to I-490, serving the Rochester to Victor corridor. This area is a vital link for commuters and travelers heading towards the Finger Lakes region, known for its scenic beauty and bustling local economy. The crash caused significant delays, affecting the morning rush hour traffic and creating a backlog of vehicles stretching back several miles.

Simultaneously, another crash was reported on I-90 eastbound just before Exit 46, which connects to I-390, a major route towards Corning. This section of the Thruway is crucial for those traveling south towards the Southern Tier and the Pennsylvania border. The incident at this location further compounded the traffic woes for drivers in the Rochester metropolitan area, known for its vibrant cultural scene and historical landmarks.

Both incidents highlight the importance of staying informed about real-time traffic conditions, especially on major roadways like the NYS Thruway, which serves as a critical artery for commerce and daily commutes in upstate New York. The crashes underscore the need for caution and attentiveness while driving, particularly during peak travel times when roadways are most congested. As authorities worked to clear the scenes, drivers were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid prolonged delays.
