Brefere said the woman was wedged between her car and a tree after she veered into the nearby woods close to 11 p.m.. It took nearly two hours to get her out of the vehicle.

The cause of the crash was unknown and the emergency responders have not yet identified the drivers. The male driver of the second car involved in the accident refused medical help, Brefere said.

The Armonk, Purchase, and West Harrison fire departments were on the scene alongside emergency medical services and police

The crash closed all northbound lanes of I-684 near exit 2 shortly after midnight.
