2 Hurt in Multi-Vehicle Crash on Route 42 in New Jersey

Two people were injured in a crash on Route 42 in New Jersey that shut down a section of the highway. 

The multi-vehicle crash occurred in the southbound lanes of Route 42 in Washington Township, Gloucester County, right before the AC Expressway split early Thursday evening.

SkyForce10 was over the scene as one victim was placed on a stretcher while crews rescued another victim who was trapped inside a vehicle. 

Both victims were taken to the hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Southbound lanes on Route 42 were closed at the scene of the crash and traffic was backed up for miles. The lanes later reopened.
