Video from nma419 of a truck Wednesday on Long Island that was too high for the overpass.
The incident occurred near the Meadowbrook State Parkway exit for East Meadow and Levittown shortly after 10:30 a.m. and left the truck demolished.
New York Department of Transportation spokesman Beau Duffy told the Daily News two lanes on the parkway was closed for about three hours for the cleanup and removal of the truck’s debris. The overpass did not sustain any damage, he said.
He said he did not believe the driver was injured.
Trucks are not permitted on the parkways due to the low overpasses and the state has taken many steps in the past year and a half to stop these incidents, Duffy said.
