Overturned tractor-trailer causes major backups on northbound New Jersey Turnpike

Yeah, we're going to do our best to give you a look at what's going on here, but I can tell you in the truck lanes, tractor trailers are starting to back up a long, long way. We're standing at the entrance to the Molly Pitcher service area. You can see in the distance all the yellow lights that are flashing up there. Trust me, there are some police up there, state police on scene as well, because of an overturned tractor trailer. It's hard to make out now from this distance we were driving by, and even when I was trying to get some video, I couldn't quite make it out. As a matter of fact, it looked more like a construction scene and may very well have been. a construction scene but at some point this tractor trailer had turned over and what that's doing is blocking lanes in the truck lanes on the uh outer lanes of the northbound turnpike just south of exit 8a here in cranberry so a lot of trucks now are starting and just now starting to back up when we first arrived there wasn't much traffic at all there was a lane open they were slowly getting by but as we've been standing here the past five minutes We've watched as trucks have just continued to back up in those truck lanes. So it's something to keep in mind if you're in Mercer County and you're heading north in through Middlesex County. You want to take those car lanes. You will see trucks in those car lanes now as they're being told to move over so they can get through as well. But they're continuing to work on this overturned tractor trailer. We will try and get a better visual on it for you as the morning progresses. Certainly have updates. News 12. News 12.com and the News 12 app. We don't know if there's any injuries at this point. We don't know what caused it. We'll gather information. We'll get it to you as soon as state police make it available. That's the latest from Cranberry. Tony Caputo, News 12, New Jersey.
