Truck dumps load onto roadway just short of closure for earlier crash

The dump truck overturned around 6:45 a.m. in the southbound lanes approaching the previous closure at Exit 4 (Route 73 – Philadelphia/Camden) in South Jersey caused by the earlier deadly crash.

The dump truck driver suffered a minor injury.

Traffic, slowly got by the crash in one lane while crews worked to clean up the mess of what appeared to be ash of small rocks that spilled onto the roadway and onto the shoulder.
