Heavy rain from a nor’easter created driving conditions across the Bronx, with reduced visibility and pooling water making it difficult for drivers to navigate the roads safely.
News 12 traveled along the Hutchinson River Parkway in both directions Thursday, where heavy downpours made it difficult to see the road ahead.
Even with windshield wipers running at full speed, rain quickly covered the windshield between wipes, limiting visibility.
Large pools of water were also spotted building up in both the left and right lanes of the parkway, creating additional hazards for motorists.
Drivers are urged to slow down and avoid standing water when possible without making sudden lane changes. Wet, slippery roads can increase stopping distances and raise the risk of crashes.
With rain continuing to fall, motorists should leave extra space between vehicles, reduce their speed and never attempt to drive through floodwaters.
Drivers are encouraged to use extra caution and allow additional travel time as the nor’easter moves through the area.
