Interstate 684 southbound is open after being shuttered all day due to a crash early Sunday morning.

The highway was closed from Croton Falls to Katonah, with traffic backing up to the Interstate 84 interchange throughout the afternoon, after a pickup truck slammed into a support for an overhead highway sign.

UPDATE: Driver fell asleep in crash that closed southbound I-684 for 15 hours, police say

The support buckled, police said, and in order to keep the entire assembly from collapsing, the truck was not moved.

Police had to enlist the help of a crane to clear the crash.

The highway reopened shortly after 8:15 p.m.

No injuries were reported.
