The trailer, towed by a tractor from Teplitz Metal Processing in Nanuet, split on Pascack Road near Bethany Church shortly before 9 a.m., Police Chief Richard Skinner said.

An investigation will determine what types of summonses could be issued, Skinner said.

No injuries were reported, the chief said.

The contents will have to be off-loaded safely before Citywide Towing could remove the rig, he said.

No debris was spilled along the roadway.
