A truck driving on the Hutchinson River Parkway slammed into an overpass creating a traffic nightmare this morning.
Police say a truck traveling southbound hit the Third Avenue Bridge in Mount Vernon just before 6 a.m.
Trucks are not supposed to be on the parkway, and the vehicle ended up wedged underneath the bridge.
The top of the truck was sheared off, spilling some contents onto the roadway.
The southbound side of the Hutchinson was closed and traffic rerouted to the Cross County Parkway.
No one was injured in the accident, and the driver was issued several tickets.
