2 Big Crashes Stop Traffic On 2 Major N.J. Highways

Two big crashes have slowed traffic to a stop, and closed lanes on two major New Jersey highways on Monday morning, authorities said.

The Route 95 south express lanes in Englewood - near the entry to the New Jersey Turnpike - were closed because of a motor vehicle crash, officials said. The crash apparently involved two tractor-trailers.

An accident was reported on the George Washington Bridge eastbound on the New York side/lower level, according to state officials.

A dump truck also overturned on I-78 east, slowing traffic to a stop at the Hudson-Bay extension. Eastbound local lanes are closed, near Exit 56 (see photo).

Traffic is backed up at least 10 miles, past the Turnpike and Parkway exits.

We'll have more information as it comes in.
