Ten horses died when the tractor trailer that was carrying them crashed and caught fire along a stretch of the New Jersey Turnpike in Mercer County.
The crash happened shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday when the trailer hit a concrete divider as it traveled northbound along the turnpike, near mile marker 68.6 in East Windsor Township, the New Jersey State police said.
The vehicle became fully engulfed in flames, killing the horses inside. No other injuries were immediately reported, and authorities continued to investigate what caused the crash.
