Multiple people were hospitalized after at least two of the cars involved caught fire, New Jersey State Police said.
Troopers could be seen combing through the woods nearby the crash scene where the two burned out vehicles remained on the roadway for hours. It was unclear what they were looking for.
Transportation and Transit
By 6 a.m., one lane of traffic was getting by, but a long line of headlights remained.
Drivers wanting to avoid the Turnpike entirely can use Interstate 295, NBC10 First Alert Traffic reporter Sheila Watko said. "It's a much better choice than waiting in these huge delays approaching the scene of this crash."
By 6:30 a.m., the crash scene was even more clear and traffic was flowing again.
No word yet on what might have caused the fiery crash.
As this crash started to clear, another crash happened further north along the the New Jersey Turnpike Extension to the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
