Massive Fireball After Two Tanker Trucks Collide On Jersey Turnpike

The New Jersey Turnpike reopened Thursday morning, hours after two tanker trucks collided and sparked an inferno that gutted both vehicles and caused gridlock on the traffic artery Wednesday evening. Truck lanes between exits 6 and 9 reopened at about 6:30 a.m. after the crash in East Brunswick. Car lanes on the northbound lane were still congested Thursday morning. State Police said the trucks collided on the outer roadway on northbound side of the turnpike, near mile marker 88. The trucks ignited into a massive fireball, ravaging the two big rigs.
