A dump truck carrying a full load of salt has overturned on the New York State Thruway northbound in Sloatsburg, drawing a large emergency response from agencies in Rockland and Orange counties.

The truck rolled onto its side, spilling salt across multiple lanes of the highway. Several lanes are completely blocked, and heavy congestion is building on the northbound direction. Traffic is also slowing on the southbound side due to the heavy emergency presence along the roadway.

Responding agencies include the Sloatsburg Fire Department, Tuxedo Fire Department, Kiryas Joel Hatzoloh, Rockland Paramedics, Spring Hill EMS, and New York State Police. First responders are securing the scene and coordinating traffic control while preparing for roadway cleanup.

The scene remains active as emergency crews continue working along the Thruway. Authorities have not yet released information regarding injuries or the cause of the rollover.
