A busy main road in Northern Westchester was closed to traffic for several hours after a tractor-trailer tipped over and spilled a load of rocks, police said.

The accident happened on Tuesday, Jan. 3 around 11:30 a.m., when the tractor-trailer and a minivan traveling northbound on Route 9A in Hawthorne just north of Belmont Road collided, causing the tractor-trailer to overturn, block the entire roadway, and spill a load of small stones, according to Mount Pleasant Police Chief Paul Olivia. 

The drivers of both the tractor-trailer and minivan suffered minor injuries. 

The portion of Route 9A between Route 141 and Dana Road was completely closed to traffic until around 4:30 p.m. as the area was cleaned up and the truck was towed away.
