Good morning, Nick. Good morning, Lauren. Good morning, folks.
Now, look, we don't know the extent of the injuries just yet.
We're waiting for an update from state police
or who was involved in this accident.
I can't tell you that it appears that the accident has been cleared,
and that's just construction vehicles that are out there.
But let me show you from Drone 12,
a little clearer view of what we're talking about.
This is just south of exit 8A, northbound truck lanes on the turnpike.
Right now, everything is moving.
Truck lanes, car lanes, everything
is moving smoothly heading northbound and southbound, for that matter.
But if you're coming out of Mercer County earlier,
I said make sure you get in the car lanes.
Right now, both sides appear to be moving no problem.
But earlier, there was an overturned tractor-trailer and we believe
a second vehicle involved in an accident that happened overnight.
It's also reportedly a truck fire.
Now, what vehicle was on fire, we're not quite sure.
State police was out here.
The traffic was backing up as the morning progressed early on.
But again, it has cleared out now, which is certainly good news
for any of you who are coming out of Mercer County
and into southern Middlesex County, approaching exit 8A.
What we're waiting on is exactly how this accident played out
and if there were any injuries involved in this accident.
So that's something we'll wait for updates from state police.
They would investigate that out here on the turnpike.
As we get more of that information, we'll certainly have it for you.
