Police ID Drivers In Multi-Vehicle Crash In White Plains

WHITE PLAINS, NY — Minor injuries have been reported after a rollover tractor-trailer crash in White Plains Wednesday morning, New York State Police said.

The crash occurred around 6 a.m. and blocked I-287's left and center lanes in both directions between Exit 8 and Exit 7 in White Plains and North White Plains, respectively, according to police.

As of noon, delays remain but lanes are open, according to the state Department of Transportation.

A preliminary investigation indicates that William G. Mosquera, 63, of Kissimmee, Florida was driving an eastbound tractor trailer when it side-swept an eastbound Volkswagon sedan being driven by Ian S. Carney, 52, of Ridgewood, New Jersey, police said.

Mosquera’s tractor trailer overturned over the center median, which then struck a westbound tractor trailer being driven by Nicholas A. Terzi, 30, of Lindenhurst, police said.

Only Terzi suffered minor injuries, police said. A load of solar panels spilled onto the roadway during the collision, according to police.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Correction: An earlier version of this story stated that Mosquera's trailer collided with a trailer being driven by Terzi. Police have since clarified the facts, saying that they had initially been given incorrect information at the scene.
