CBS News New York reports, last night, a commercial truck overturned on a New Jersey Turnpike overpass in Elizabeth near the Newark airport knocking out a section of noise wall that crumbled onto the adjoining city street. Although some pedestrians were in the area, no injuries were reported. “Turnpike officials said it took more than six hours to get that part of the southbound side of the highway back open. They also said the investigation into what caused the truck to overturn continues.” Because maintenance crews worked through the night and early morning to clear debris and remove two other unstable wall panels, this morning’s peak-period traffic flow was not affected.
