Military Vehicle Flips On NJ Turnpike, Injuring 6: Cops

The New Jersey Turnpike southbound lanes were closed - then reopened - in Central Jersey Thursday after a military vehicle flipped, injuring six, police said.

One man was listed in critical condition while another man was in serious condition, police said. State Police did not identify the occupants.

The highway southbound was closed around 3:32 p.m., so delays were expected on the Turnpike and on Routes 535 and 32. By 4:40 p.m., the southbound car lanes and one truck lane were reopened.

Just before 4 p.m., New Jersey State Police confirmed all occupants had been removed from truck.

One woman was flown from the scene near Exit 8A in South Brunswick with serious injuries, police said.
