For more than a half-hour, all lanes of the expressway were closed, stalling traffic between Exits 57 and 60, as emergency crews worked to remove the damaged vehicles, according to the New York State Department of Transportation website, informny.com.

The road was reopened to traffic at about 4:20 p.m., the website said.

One of the vehicles was overturned and there were three minor injuries, said the spokeswoman, who had no further information.
