Crashes are affecting multiple highways, including the Garden State Parkway southbound at Exit 135 in Clark Township, where the left lane and shoulder are blocked, and I-280 westbound at Exit 14E in Newark, where the left lane is closed. Another crash on the New Jersey Turnpike – Hudson County Extension in Bayonne has vehicles on the right shoulder.

Traffic congestion is building on key routes, with delays on the Pulaski Skyway northbound in Jersey City, US 1&9 northbound in Fort Lee, and NJ 4 eastbound approaching the George Washington Bridge.
