Two people have been injured in an accident on the New Jersey Turnpike which brought traffic to a halt. The accident occurred when a semi truck loaded with paper products smashed into an embankment and caught fire near an overpass, bringing traffic to a virtual stand-still as emergency responders worked to free him from the accident. If you’ve been injured in a traffic accident, the New Jersey car accident lawyers at the Law Office of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. may be able to get you the compensation you deserve.

The driver of the truck was taken to a local hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries, police say. Traffic was backed up for most of the day in both directions, as police had to re-route vehicles while experts inspected the overpass for damage.
