CRANBURY, N.J. — Southbound truck lanes of the New Jersey Turnpike have reopened nearly 12 hours after a pileup involving 15 or more vehicles including tractor-trailers and a bus left at least one person dead and several others injured.
New Jersey State Police spokesman Sgt. Jeff Flynn says state troopers will have more to say later Tuesday.
The accident occurred just before 9:15 p.m. Monday during a mix of rain and snow flurries and below-freezing temperatures in Cranbury.
State Police say the vehicles involved in the crash include several cars, four tractor-trailers, two box trucks and a fully loaded bus.
State police say many people were injured.
The crash is under investigation. The agency that manages the turnpike says a tractor-trailer jackknifed on the roadway near a service area.
Southbound car lanes reopened earlier.
