Ridgefield Park firefighters extricated the driver of a BMW that was involved in the crash at mile marker 67.7 in the local lanes approaching Hackensack in Bogota around 2:30 p.m.
No serious injuries were reported, however.
A Bergen County Hazardous Materials Unit joined firefighters in cleaning up fuel that leaked from the jack-knifed tractor's tank, which was ripped off in the crash.
As a result, the local westbound lanes were closed for 45 minutes and then only the shoulder was passable for nearly four hours. State Police diverted vehicles into the express lanes where possible.
Bogota firefighters also responded.
