    Police say the northbound truck apparently broke an axel 9 AM before it flipped. It was carrying scrap metal.

    Police say at least one other vehicle was hit by debris.

    YouTube poster Hypotenuse posted the startling 30-second video, claiming it was recorded by her husband during rush hour traffic on the span.

    Video showed the truck sending debris and two wheels flying across the road.

    Police said all lanes on the bridge were closed for some time after the accident.

    The driver of the truck was not hurt. Mechanical failure caused the truck to fall over, according to the Journal News.

    Frightening situation for any driver to experience. There would be fatalities if the road barrier wasn’t there.
