A dump truck crashed into a concrete barrier on Route 208 on Tuesday morning when the driver swerved to avoid stopped traffic, authorities said.
The truck clipped a box truck, which suffered minor damage, and the dump truck’s front driver’s-side wheel went over the barrier, Sgt. Brian Metzler said in a statement. No one was hurt.
The crash occurred just after 8 a.m. in the highway’s southbound lanes, Metzler said. The dump truck, belonging to Scott Phillips Trucking of Hawthorne, was hauling stone to Englewood, police said.
The borough’s rescue squad and Fire Department responded for a diesel fuel leak.
Authorities had closed the highway in both directions at the site of the accident.
Slow down, buddy. You will cause an accident.
Ooops, you already did.
Well, at least next time!
