Truck Vs Truck Accident
Very little information was initially released about the accident in the southbound lanes on the Turnpike. At least one news station captured images from a helicopter reporter that indicated the FedEx tractor-trailer jack-knifed, leading to packages spreading across the highway. The second semi-truck was on the scene, but there were no updates on the cause or if anyone was hurt in the accident. The official fault in this case has not yet been released.
