An overturned vehicle crash Tuesday morning has once again raised concerns about a long-standing traffic hazard at the intersection of Yale Drive and Cragmere Road in Airmont.
The crash occurred at approximately 11:30 a.m. and involved a vehicle that overturned near a retaining wall that extends into the roadway. The wall has been linked to multiple previous crashes at the intersection and was previously approved for removal, but the work has still not been completed.
Ramapo Police, Suffern Police, Hatzoloh EMS, Faist EMS, and the Tallman and Suffern Fire Departments responded to the scene and assisted those involved.
Several nearby residents told Monsey Scoop they are once again urging local elected officials to ensure the approved removal of the retaining wall is completed as quickly as possible before another serious crash occurs. Residents say the intersection has been the scene of numerous accidents over the years and believe immediate action is needed to improve safety.
