George Washington Bridge reopens after deadly shooting triggers massive traffic backups

Well, the good news this morning is that traffic is moving on the GWB. That wasn't the case last night, but as for this morning, it's starting to back up a little, as you would expect around this time on a Wednesday morning. But again, the investigation on the bridge is completed, so both decks of the bridge running smoothly at this point. We'll keep you posted, obviously, on any issues there throughout the morning. Again, hardly the case last night, beginning around 7 o'clock. Traffic backed up on the upper and lower levels as first responders arrived to a call of one car accident on the westbound upper level of the GWB, obviously heading here in New Jersey. And when police took a closer look, they found the victim inside the car, unresponsive, with a gunshot wound to the head. Port Authority police telling us the victim was taken to Englewood Medical Center, but it was too late. So a lot of questions remaining right now. No official word yet if the victim is man or male or woman. No official word yet if they are searching for a suspect. So a lot of questions that we're waiting for right now. No word on how this tragedy played out exactly on the GWB. So again, we're waiting on official word as part of this investigation. As we get that, we'll certainly pass it along to you, News 12, News12.com and the News 12 app. But in the meantime, if you commute over the GWB, again, backing up a little bit this morning as one would expect, but it is open and for the most part, running smoothly. We're live in Fort Lee, Tony Caputo, News 12, New Jersey.
