A tractor-trailer overturned Monday after striking an overpass on the New York State Thruway in South Nyack, and dashcam video captured the crash.
New York State Police from Tarrytown responded to the crash at about 12:20 p.m. Aug. 10 on the southbound side of Interstate 87.
Watch: Video captures tractor-trailer crash
Dashcam footage provided by AAA Carting to USA TODAY's New York Connect Team shows the top of the tractor-trailer striking the South Broadway Bridge before the truck overturns onto the highway.
Truck driver ticketed for over-height vehicle
A preliminary investigation corroborated the video, finding that the 2020 Mack tractor-trailer struck the South Broadway Bridge overpass before overturning.
The tractor-trailer then struck a 2025 Toyota sedan that was parked on the right shoulder. The Toyota driver was taken to Nyack
Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The tractor-trailer driver was not injured.
Police identified the driver as Pernell Harris, 50, of York, South Carolina. Harris was ticketed for operating an over-height vehicle.
The tractor-trailer is registered to Eastern Express Inc. of Indiana.
The crash remains under investigation.
South Broadway Bridge has been hit before
Monday's crash was not the first time an over-height tractor-trailer struck the South Broadway Bridge.
In late August 2023, a truck hit the bridge, resulting in a 16-hour road closure during subsequent repairs.
A 2024 investigation by The Journal News found that more than 85 Thruway bridges were scheduled to be replaced within the following decade at a cost of about $800 million.
The South Broadway Bridge was among those on the list, with replacement originally scheduled for completion by 2028.
The bridge has a clearance of 16 feet, 6 inches.
