CROTON-ON-HUDSON, NY — Wondering why Route 9 was a parking lot Wednesday? So the first thing that happened was a car involved in a crash on Route 9 north of Senasqua Road smashed through the guard rail and into the woods.

The second thing that happened was an accident involving two cars just a quarter-mile south of the first crash.

So the Croton fire and police departments had two command posts a thousand feet apart on northbound Route 9 during the evening commute.
