1 hospitalized after debris falls on Cross Bronx Expressway, westbound GWB lower level closed

One person has been hospitalized after debris fell from a Cross Bronx Expressway overpass onto a car below. 

It happened at around 7:50 a.m. on the Cross Bronx Expressway near Exit 1. 

The person who was injured is expected to survive, and were awake and mobile when they were taken to the hospital. 

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill posted on social media saying all westbound lanes to the lower level of the George Washington Bridge were closed. 

Officials are investigating the incident and are making repairs. 

Motorists headed to the 181st Street exit are being redirected to the Jerome Avenue and Major Deegan exits. The exit at 181st Street is closed, for now. 

Just last week, a large chunk of debris fell on the lower level George Washington Bridge right in front of an oncoming vehicle. The vehicle narrowly avoided being directly under the debris as it fell, but still caused damage.
