A military Humvee and a civilian vehicle collided along the New Jersey Turnpike late Friday night sending six people, including four Army personnel, to a Mercer County hospital.
The wreck closed the inner southbound lanes near mile-marker 57 (between Exits 7A and 7) on the turnpike in Hamilton Township, Mercer County around 11:15 p.m. Friday.
Police say the Humvee was part of a 12-vehicle convoy traveling from Fort Drum in New York to Fort Maguire-Dix Lakehurst in Burlington County. They were traveling south on the Turnpike when the crash happened.
One of the occupants of the Humvee was flown to Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton with serious injuries, according to state police. The others were transported to the Medical Center by ambulance. No word on the extent of their injuries.
The military vehicle wound up on the grassy shoulder after the crash and a badly damaged Nissan remained on the roadway.
An investigation into the crash is underway.
