Greenwich, CT : Truck carrying butter bursts into flames on the Merritt Parkway after crashing into the King Street bridge on Tuesday, October 28, 2014
A Florida trucker accused by authorities of crashing into an overpass while using a Connecticut-New York parkway restricted to cars faces several New York traffic summonses.
Greenwich Time reports the truck driven by Ishad Knight of Miami on Tuesday carried liquefied margarine. Police say he disregarded signs and hit the overpass at the Connecticut line with New York.
He was not injured, but the truck caught fire, liquefied margin covered the roadway and commuters were delayed for hours.
Westchester County Police say Knight's Florida license was invalid and he also was ticketed for disobeying signs and other charges.
Police say Knight's GPS device failed to note the parkway's restrictions and overpass.
Knight does not have a listed phone number and it wasn't known Friday if he's represented by a lawyer.
