Major delays on New England Thruway after tractor-trailer crash outside New Rochelle

Traffic on the New England Thruway faced major delays for the morning commute after a tractor-trailer overturned just outside New Rochelle.

All southbound lanes were closed south of Exit 15 for hours Monday, with delays stretching about 2.5 miles into Larchmont at Exit 17.

Video from Chopper 2 showed drivers parked and standing outside their vehicles. 

Crews arrived on the scene to upright the tractor-trailer and remove its cargo container from the roadway.   

Drivers were advised to avoid the area, using the Hutchinson River Parkway for non-commercial vehicles or I-87 instead.
