YONKERS, NY – Traffic around the George Washington Bridge in the Bronx came to a grind Saturday night after three suspects fleeing police in a carjacked pickup truck lost control and crashed the vehicle near the Interstate 87 onramp to the George Washington Bridge.

At around 6 pm, Yonkers police officers responded to the gas station at 631 Yonkers Avenue on a report of a gunpoint robbery.

Three suspects were reportedly assaulting the owner of a pickup truck at gunpoint and fleeing in the truck.

A Yonkers Police unit located the carjacked truck and pursued it into the Bronx, where the suspect vehicle lost control and crashed on the entrance ramp to the George Washington Bridge from southbound Interstate 87.


A suspect has been apprehended on scene and there is currently an investigation and search taking place for the remaining suspects. The NYPD is assisting with the investigation and search. The victim is a 62-year-old male who lives out of state who suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The investigation is ongoing, and additional information may be released as it becomes available.

The I-87 S/B GWB ramp was closed during the investigation and accident cleanup.
