The southbound lanes on the Taconic Parkway were closed to traffic for nearly four hours. "Traffic was starting to get backed up and then we were at a stop-and-go, just a crawl. The road was closed right at the exit," says Gary Burleigh, who was driving through the area. State police have not said what caused the crash. It appears at least two cars were involved.
