State Police say two tractor trailers were involved in the crash and that one of them is to blame.

The bus was carrying six passengers in all. One person has died, state police say. Three were critically hurt and one is in fair condition, hospital officials say.

that there were 6 vehicles involved (including the 2 tractor-trailers).

Also CNN has it as a breaking now -

and the 7A camera seems to show the far right truck lane portion open with vehicles moving along that, but the main portion had no cars.

northbound. It looked like the main was shut from about 6 all the way up to 10.....that was fun.

Ed....it....this must have been northbound, since he was coming from dover.....so I can attest that at 7a we were all bunched together...cars and trucks. And it was pretty hairy in a few spots.

Holy crap!! It's bad enough on a good day, especially when you get around the exit 9 area & New Brunswick.

When I used to go up and down there, I would get on/come off at exit 6 from/to the PA turnpike. I know when I was growing up, I had an uncle who used to go up and down the state and he never used the turnpike. He always used the Parkway. I.e., the turnpike was as bad in the early '70s too. lol

are supposed to do, but it was crowded and tense.

I’ve always thought traveling in a limo was always the safest way to go..

Over so many years I’ve heard, read or listen to many stories of Limo Tragedies

Even a huge stretch or van or short bus type of limo has no chance against an 18-wheeler.

Such a freak accident.

Sending good vibes to him and the other victims.

eom

Did you catch this one?

A fucking Wal-Mart truck was involved.

Can't get it to post.

If long haul truck driver are going to continue being paid by the mile we are going to have these problems, tight schedules don't help either, every time you are late it counts against you and could lead to the loss of your job.

During my driving career, I pulled some Wal-Mart trailers out of both Smyrna, DE and Tobyhanna, PA the two most likely Distribution Centers that were involved. Generally speaking, the way their delivery schedule is set up, it is most unusual for a driver to be on the road at that hour, even with backhaul after the trailer drops, which are scheduled for 4, 6, or 8 PM nightly in a rotation system. That part of the NJTP is notortious for construction, and Wal-Mart does emphasize safety. It's hard to believe that if the driver was that tired, he couldn't spend the night at a store. Somerdale, Marlton, Lumberton, Burlington Twp, and Hamilton Twp are within 2 miles of the MJTP prior to the location of the accident (NJTP 7a @ I-195 Trenton, Hamilton, Shore Points). Plus the Woodrow Wilson Service Plaza between 7 & 7A. No excuses.

outcomes for those who survived.

He was Tracy Morgan's comedy writer.

"The driver of the truck, 35-year-old Kevin Roper, was charged on Saturday with one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto, the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office said, adding that he was expected to surrender to authorities. Bail was set at $50,000."

Unless he was drunk, I have never heard of anything like this in an accident that just happened.

very strange

Hope he and the other injured pull through.

Of all the thousands of posts in this website, and you choose to say something mean about a black guy who makes a living making people laugh. I hope to hell no one in your family ever has to endure a violent vehicle accident.....Or ask me if I care.
