Overturned Truck on Route 17 in Sullivan County, NY

Monday afternoon, the New York State Police took to Facebook to announce the temporary closure of westbound Route 17 in Sullivan County, NY:

TRAFFIC ALERT: Travelers are encouraged to avoid State Route 17 westbound between exits 98 and 97... due to a tractor trailer rollover with a diesel spill and contents of the trailer... eastbound traffic is open to one lane in that area.

The photos showed the extent of the damage, including the hulking truck laying on its side with a sea of refuse covering lanes on both sides of Route 17. The comment section reflected the frustration of Hudson Valley motorists.

It’s like every week one is getting into an accident", lamented a Lagrange, NY woman.
