The New Jersey Turnpike Authority, operator of the parkway, says all three northbound lanes were closed for nearly two hours Wednesday after a three-car crash around Exit 91 in Brick Township.
Turnpike Authority spokesman Joe Orlando said the crash, around 6:30 a.m., caused a backup as much as eight miles long, stretching back to Toms River.
Orlando said the crash took place after a car crossed from the southbound lanes into the northbound lanes.
He said three people were seriously injured.
