Major delays on Interstate 80 in New Jersey after box truck crashes with tractor-trailer. Use these alternate routes.
HACKENSACK, N.J. — Interstate 80 in New Jersey is experiencing major delays for the morning commute after a crash involving a tractor-trailer and a box truck.
The crash happened around midnight in the westbound lanes near exit 66 in Hackensack.
The white tractor-trailer could be seen jackknifed across the roadway with its front end smashed, and the box truck was burned to a pile of rubble near the sound barrier wall.
Westbound traffic was backed up for hours overnight, before one lane reopened around 4 a.m.
Investigators have also been periodically closing and opening the eastbound lanes, as they work to determine what happened and clear the scene.
Signs are up across Bergen County warning drivers to use alternate routes, like Route 46 or Route 4.
There’s no word on when the cleanup will be complete.
CBS New York has reached out to New Jersey State Police for more information on whether there were any injuries, but we are still waiting to hear back.
