Crush Hour: Sweeper Truck Tips, Spills Trash Onto Route 80

A sweeper truck tipped and spilled its contents on Route 80 early Tuesday.

The 20-foot truck landed on its side, spilling trash onto the right lane and shoulder of the westbound highway near the Bogota/Teaneck border, after colliding with a pickup truck around 7 a.m. June 20.

There was no immediate word on injuries -- although witnesses said they didn't appear serious -- or possible summonses.

All three local lanes were temporarily closed while ABC Towing righted and removed the rig and the debris was removed.
