BATAVIA, N.Y. -- A 21-vehicle crash on the New York State Thruway has closed parts of the highway in both directions, according to New York State Police.
Injuries have been reported, police said, but they did not report how seriously people were injured.
All westbound traffic at Exit 47 in Leroy and eastbound traffic at Exit 48 in Batavia and Exit 48A in Pembroke is being diverted, state police said.
The crash happened at 2 p.m. near mile-marker 382 eastbound on the Thruway. The crash involved tractor trailers and other vehicles, police said.
Tractor trailers were banned Tuesday night on the Thruway from Rochester to the Pennsylvania state line.
Police say they don’t know the severity of drivers' injuries but that a state police “member" suffered non-life threatening injuries.
