Those hoping to get a head start in to their holiday travel are in for a rough morning after two tractor trailers went across a guardrail on a heavily-used highway in northern New Jersey Wednesday morning.
The early morning incident, which occurred before 8 a.m., has snarled traffic in the Boonton, Morris County, area -- after momentary I-287 lane closures in both directions due to the incident.
According to New Jersey State Police, the tractor trailers crashed into each other which also caused a fuel and oil spill.
Police say that a hazmat team was also called to the scene.
Although the incident caused delays for hours, by around 12:30 p.m. all I-287 northbound lanes reopened. All but one southbound lane have reopened as crews work on repairing the guard rail.
No injuries were reported, according to state police.
