Westchester County Announces Task Force Amid Recent Wrong-Way Driving Incidents

HARRISON, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) -- Westchester County has announced a task force amid recent wrong-way driver incidents.

The task force will be made up of citizens and elected officials who will review all entrance and exit ramps on the Bronx River Parkway.

They'll work to identify problems, like the need for new signage, and find immediate solutions.

"We want everyday people to look at it, people who drive and, to be candid with you, people who make natural, everyday mistakes because of the way things look," Westchester County Executive George Latimer said.

In the past two weeks, there have been at least two wrong-way driving incidents on I-287 near Harrison, including one that left two people dead.
