Overturned Car Shuts Route 80 Eastbound Monday

HACKENSACK, NJ — Drivers faced delays Monday afternoon after an overturned car closed all lanes on I-80 eastbound at Exit 64, the Summit Avenue and NJ 17 interchange, according to officials.

The lane closure affected eastbound traffic at one of the busier highway connections in Hackensack. Officials reported that all lanes were closed at the scene Monday afternoon, though no additional information about injuries, the cause of the crash or how long the closure would remain in place was provided in the source information.

A second traffic problem was also reported nearby in Hackensack. According to officials, a disabled truck on NJ 17 northbound north of Summit Avenue led to the closure of one left lane out of three lanes.

Together, the incidents created two separate trouble spots for drivers moving through the area Monday afternoon. Motorists traveling through Hackensack on Monday afternoon were likely to encounter backups near both locations as traffic narrowed or stopped altogether. Drivers were advised by the closures themselves to expect delays in the area and seek alternate routes if available, though the source did not specify any official detour pattern.

No further details were immediately available from the information provided about either incident. It was also not clear from the source when the lanes would reopen on I-80 eastbound or when the left-lane closure on NJ 17 northbound would be cleared.
