The crash happened at around 12:20 p.m. in the southbound lanes before Exit 10 for South Nyack and Route 9W, according to 511NY traffic reports. 

Video from the Monsey Scoop shows the 2020 Mack tractor-trailer hitting the South Broadway Bridge overpass before rolling over and hitting a 2025 Toyota sedan that had been parked on the right shoulder off the road. 

The driver of the Toyota was taken to Nyack Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said. Meanwhile, the tractor-trailer driver was not injured, State Police added. 

A 511NY traffic camera image from shortly after the crash showed the tractor-trailer overturned across the roadway near the right shoulder. 

All lanes of traffic reopened by 4 p.m. 

The driver of the tractor-trailer, a 50-year-old resident of York, South Carolina, was ticketed for driving an over-height vehicle, police said. Authorities added the truck was registered to Eastern Express, Inc. of Indiana.
