The driver received a careless driving summons after the 4:40 p.m. mishap at the MacArthur Boulevard overpass, which left only one passable lane on the highway a little over two miles south of the Rockland County border.

Firefighters cleaned up a hydraulic fluid spill.

The state DOT was called to determine whether there was any structural damage to the overpass.
