Crews dousing a burning bus, RV and tractor-trailer on the New Jersey Turnpike on Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Mansfield, Burlington County.
It was a traffic mess for drivers on the New Jersey Turnpike Tuesday afternoon after an RV, bus and tractor-trailer crashed and all caught fire in Burlington County.
It happened around 4:05 p.m. on the northbound lanes near mile marker 47 -- after Interchange 5 (Springfield Township), according to the Turnpike Authority.
All northbound lanes were blocked as firefighters worked to extinguish the flames.
All lanes were reopened around 5:30 p.m., state police said.
But the long backup would take some time to clear for afternoon commuters.
No injuries were reported.
