Dashcam Captures Tractor-Trailer Overturning After Striking I-87 Overpass

Dramatic dashcam footage shows a tractor-trailer striking an overpass on I-87 in Rockland County, New York, and overturning around 12:30 p.m. on Monday, August 10. The video captures the moment of impact in the right lane, followed by the trailer flipping, debris flying, and smoke rising from the scene. Other vehicles continued past the crash as the overturned trailer came to rest on the roadside.

CBS New York reporter Tony Aiello shared the footage, which was sourced from AAA Carting. The crash occurred amid normal highway traffic, with no immediate reports of additional vehicles being involved. Aiello publicly tagged the New York State Police while seeking further details on the incident and any injuries.

Highway crashes involving large trucks and overpasses often result from clearance issues or sudden maneuvers. Investigators are expected to examine the exact circumstances, including the height of the trailer and road conditions at the time. For now, the dashcam video provides a clear record of how quickly the situation unfolded.
