Check out this incredible video by NJ State Police at Monday morning's tractor trailer fire.

Far Hills, NJ -- First responders were out at the crack of dawn on Monday battling a blaze that ignited out of the collision of two tractor trailers on Route 287.

Check out this incredible video by the New Jersey State Police at the scene around 4:30 a.m.

If you normally commute on northbound Interstate 287 near Bedminster Township, then you probably got snarled in some miserable traffic today. While most were snug in bed, at 4:27 a.m., the troops, firefighters, and other first responders were dealing with this fiery crash. Thankfully, it looks much worse than it was because no one was seriously injured. All lanes were closed until approximately 7:30 a.m., when the roadway was partially reopened. Hopefully you're over your #CaseOfTheMondays. Here's to a better Tuesday!
