YONKERS, N.Y. -- One suspect was shot and another is in custody after a police chase that started in the Riverdale section of the Bronx ended with a crash on the Saw Mill River Parkway in Yonkers on Tuesday afternoon.

The unarmed suspect was reportedly fatally shot during a foot chase at Tibbetts Brook Park.

Yonkers Police said it has been informed by the NYPD that there are no additional suspects being sought. 

The stretch of the parkway where the 12:10 p.m. crash occurred --- between Exit 3 (McLean Avenue) and the Cross County Parkway (Exit 4) -- is expected to remain closed through the evening commute, creating gridlock on nearby roadways, including side streets.

The chase reportedly began when a gray Nissan hit an NYPD vehicle in the Bronx and then sped away.

Several people suffered non-life threatening injuries in both the crash and subsequent manhunt, including two police officers, who suffered minor injuries according to WABC-7.

At one point during the chase, the Nissan drove the wrong way on the Saw Mill, WABC 7 reported.

The Yonkers Police Department assisted the NYPD in the search near Tibbets Park, authorities said.
