DEPTFORD, N.J. (WPVI) -- A box truck crashed into the median barrier of Route 42 in Deptford, Gloucester County causing southbound traffic to be backed up during the morning rush hour.



It happened around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday on Route 42 SB at Route 55.



The crash involved the box truck and at least two other vehicles. The view from Chopper 6 showed the box truck leaning on the barrier with the pickup partially wedged underneath. A red sedan with front end damage was being towed from the scene.



A number of emergency crews were called to the scene.



Though the northbound lanes were not blocked, traffic was still jammed as well due to a gaper delay.



There is no word on injuries at this time.
