Tractor trailer crash on NJ Turnpike


There was no immediate word on that person's condition.

Both northbound lanes were closed at the scene, with traffic getting by on the shoulder.



Crews were able to right the truck by 7 a.m., and all lanes were back open by 8 a.m.

A crash in the same location on the southbound side of the turnpike caused headaches for commuters on Friday.
